Why leaders choose upGrad
Real experiences from managers, directors and senior professionals completing online degrees alongside demanding roles across the world.
.webp?width=212&height=240&name=MarkGibson_Desktophomepage%20(1).webp)
I wouldn't have been able to do a doctorate without an opportunity like this because of my very busy lifestyle, so it's been a really positive experience for me, and I look forward to finishing the program.
I’m also a student in the Edgewood University doctoral program through upGrad, and the reason I chose this program is because I found upGrad to be very responsive in terms of technical support, orientations, and onboarding. There are great opportunities for synchronous live sessions to get to know other students in the program as well as the instructors. I also really appreciate the Blackboard platform and the fact that I can access recordings of any sessions I may have missed. All of the course content is right at your fingertips assignments, grades, resources, and databases for research. You truly learn all the different aspects of a doctoral program, including what’s involved in writing a dissertation. The courses prepare you very well for that process.

The program has allowed me to continue working while attending school and has allowed me to seek my next academic challenge and to immerse myself in doctoral-level business education.
I'm a lawyer at Bourgeron Clifford, a top 10 personal injury law firm in Canada. My interests lie at the intersection of business, law, and technology. Through upGrad, I'm able to get access to Golden Gate University's DBA program, where all three of those subjects are at front and center. I was looking for a program that could build on something with a higher level skill set than what I currently have, and something that pushes me to learn to implement new academic theories at work, something that's accessible, and something that's affordable. Three things that stand out about upGrad to me are, one, they're weekly live lectures and seminars that help you understand the practicality of topics you learn in theory. Number two, upGrad buddies that push your boundaries to complete the course, submit assignments on time, and do everything together. Third, the career mentors in your field of study periodically share great tips with you that you'd never have anywhere else.

The program offers a valuable mix of coursework and research, unlike other programs that are fully dissertation-based. This structure has enabled me to begin doctoral research in an area I’m passionate about: consumer behavior.
UpGrad also breaks down concepts into bite-sized portions with videos and text featuring GGU faculty that are short, sharp, and crisp, making it easy to absorb and review with transcripts and summaries. Beyond academics, the immersion and networking opportunities have been incredibly enriching. My cohort includes a diverse group of learners from across the world who are highly established in their fields, building a powerful global support network. I chose UpGrad for three reasons: the faculty are patient and caring; they partner with credible, well-accredited universities such as GGU; and the UpGrad buddies are easily reachable, responsive, and very helpful in clearing doubts and handling administrative matters. I highly recommend pursuing a DBA with GGU and UpGrad and joining many others on a lifelong learning journey.
