Ph.D. Programme in English
Give your project a new dimension. Study Ph.D. at UMPRUM!
Doctoral studies are not just abstract academic musings. They can also provide you with functional solutions: are you involved in ceramics and would like to improve your methods? Are you working on textiles but lack the technical background? Would you like to revive a forgotten technique but you need advice on methods of historical research? A doctorate in art may be the solution. The art programme at UMPRUM starts with your interest and equips you with the tools, methods and contacts to take your work to a whole new level.
Doctoral studies in the Visual Arts program in English are four years long and can be completed by full-time or combined learning mode. This level of study is intended for master’s graduates and leads to independent creative, research or scientific work.
In the doctoral programme in English you can study Architecture, Fine Arts, Graphics, Design and Applied Arts while the emphasis of the studies is on artistic research.
During their studies, doctoral students are engaged in artistic creation and individual production, focusing not only on the creative practice itself, but also learning to reflect on their own work, share, summarize, and develop their own experiences of the artistic and technological process.
The uniqueness of the graduates of doctoral studies at UMPRUM lies in the interdisciplinarity of the school, which is based on a long tradition and on a well-established system of close cooperation between doctoral candidates and their consultants from the Department of Theory and History of Art.
