The doctoral thesis consists of two fully equivalent and mutually supportive parts: the artistic (artistic-technological) realization and the text. Thus, within the framework of their fields of study, the students are able to move their work to qualitatively higher levels and at the same time to carry out artistic (artistic-technological) research, contribute to the formation of professional discourse and also teach.
The doctoral thesis topics are formulated quite broadly and individual proposals from applicants are welcomed.
Framework topics of doctoral theses announced by the UMPRUM Subject-Area Board for Doctoral Studies:
- Digital Technologies in Art and Visual Communication
- Application of new materials, technologies, and practices in architecture and design
- Art project as an intersection of art, science, and research
- Art project as an articulation of contemporary social issues
Individual dissertation topic proposals should be based on the above framework topics. It is recommended to consult them with potential supervisors well in advance. A list of dissertation supervisors by study programs is available for download on the UMPRUM website.
