PhD programme in Artistic Research
Programme structure
A PhD is a three-year study based on a master's degree or other equivalent education. The programme consists of a coursework component of 30 ECTS and artistic doctoral work.
The coursework and the doctoral work are done at the same time, but the coursework component must be completed and approved before the doctoral work is evaluated.
Coursework and doctoral work
Coursework component
The coursework component will give training at a high level according to international standards. The coursework will include training in documentation of process and result, artistic reflection and communication, introduction to academic and research ethics, the philosophy of science and artistic research methodology. The coursework should support the doctoral work, as well as contribute to academic breadth and depth.
Artistic doctoral work
The artistic doctoral work should be an independent piece of artistic research that meets international standards with regard to academic and ethical standards in the subject area. The doctoral work must contribute to the development of new artistic knowledge and must achieve a level where it is considered part of knowledge building in its field.
