In early June, our campus was buzzing with international energy as we welcomed two groups of students from the Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA) program, coming from Dubai and Runshi (China). These senior executives, engaged in this high-level program, took part in an intensive Study Tour.

The DBA (Doctorate in Business Administration) offered by Clermont School of Business is a professional doctoral degree designed for experienced executives who wish to combine their practice with in-depth academic reflection.

The program is designed to train enlightened leaders capable of innovating, driving change, and making a concrete contribution to their field through applied research.

A Study Tour focused on leadership and research

During this immersive week:

Students from Dubai completed a module focused on leadership. They were able to deepen their management skills, explore the latest approaches in change management, and engage in dialogue with domain experts.
The group of students from Shanghai (RUNSHI EDUCATION GROUP) focused on a research-oriented module, allowing them to strengthen their methodologies, sharpen their critical thinking, and advance their ongoing doctoral work.

An enriched experience with contributions from industry partners

One of the highlights of the week was the participation of industry leaders, such as Michelin and Fuji, who shared their strategic visions and real-world experiences. These valuable exchanges perfectly illustrate Clermont School of Business’s commitment to bridging the academic and professional worlds.

We extend our warm thanks to all participants and speakers who contributed to the success of these 2025 Study Tours. This kind of experience lies at the heart of our mission: training responsible decision-makers who are open to the world and committed to transformation.
