评估标准: Assessment

The award of the DBA will be on the basis of successful completion of the six pieces of assessed work detailed in the table.

诺丁汉商学院认识到有个别学员有不能完成最后一个30,000字的论文的可能性。 鉴于此，针对所有申请并且注册DBA课程的学员，在其他考核要求都通过的情况下，如果没有完成最后的论文，这类学员可退出此课程，但可获得一个哲学硕士的学位。

Nottingham Business School recognise the possibility of individuals not completing the final thesis of 30,000 words. All applicants apply for and enrol on the DBA. However, in the event of non-completion of the thesis, where all other assessment requirements have been met, participants can exit the programme with a Master of Philosophy (MPhil).

对于每个学员的论文的评估包括一个口头的答辩；答辩现场将有一位相应论文论题领域的专家作为外来评估员进行考核。

Examination of each participant’s thesis will involve a viva voce and an external assessor with expertise in the subject or topic area of the thesis.
