DBA in the UK in UK — what to expect

Study part-time from Dhaka with short residencies rather than resigning to relocate.

What it costs

The table above sets out the indicative range by level. For the most common route, budget around BDT 18-30 Lakh across the full programme including living costs. Universities revise fees each intake, so treat these as planning figures and ask us for the exact number once you have a shortlist.

Entry requirements

Where you enter depends on your last completed qualification. SSC or O-Level students start at foundation level, HSC or A-Level students go directly into the first year of a degree, and a completed bachelor opens the masters route. Each course page lists the requirements in full.

How we help

Counselling, university selection, the application itself and the visa file are all free. We are paid by the universities we work with, not by students, so the shortlist you get is built around your grades and budget rather than a commission table.
