Dr Paul Davis
Executive Doctorate Alumnus 2005
"I first heard about the Executive Dcotorate programme when I was studying for my MBA at Nottingham and when I started to look for a DBA I did a websearch and pulled off all the information from Cranfield and all the other universities that were running a DBA and did an evaluation based on cost, content, syllabus, structure, timing, duration. I chose Cranfield to a large extent because of its links with business and the reputation it had with the business world."
