The DBA program at IUG–EIMT does not include a traditional internship. Instead, students engage in applied research and live business projects within real organizations. They work on solving practical business challenges using data analysis and strategic thinking. This approach allows students to act as consultants rather than trainees, gaining advanced professional experience through their dissertation and research work, which is more valuable than a standard internship at this level.

The thesis in the DBA program at IUG–EIMT is the final and most important component of the degree. It involves conducting original, applied research focused on solving real-world business problems. Students work closely with a supervisor to develop a research proposal, collect and analyze data, and present practical solutions. The thesis reflects advanced knowledge, critical thinking, and strategic insight, and is completed with a formal dissertation submission and viva (oral defense).
