Malawi, officially the Republic of Malawi, is a landlocked country in southeast Africa that was formerly known as Nyasaland. It is bordered by Zambia to the northwest, Tanzania to the northeast, and Mozambique on the east, south and west. Malawi's largest tertiary education structure at present is the University of Malawi.

A Doctorate of Business Administration (DBA) is a degree offered by business schools and business faculties at some universities to be pursued after completing graduate education. This is the way into careers in advanced business consulting or academia.

Part-time learning allows one to obtain a degree or qualification even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at one's own pace, gradually accumulating credits that count towards a final qualification.
