Art Doctoral Seminars

In addition to the compulsory core subjects and common methodological and theoretical subjects that provide basic knowledge, the content of the study programme is upgraded by art doctoral seminars. They enable a more focused orientation in the chosen field of study, which is determined by the topic and field of artistic research in the doctoral thesis.

Doctoral seminars will be held every year and will be adapted to the student’s specific orientation in artistic research and the topic of their doctoral dissertation. Doctoral seminars will be conducted for groups of students of the same course or as individual work with students, and students from other fields will also be invited to organized seminars. Such design allows the greatest possible degree of adaptation to the student and the theme of their artistic content. The description is reflected in content flexibility, up-to-date integration of the latest research findings and study literature into the pedagogical process, a continuous adaptation of sensibly selected methods and processes of artistic research, and critical integration of understanding current problems within the specifics of the student’s field of art.

Art doctoral seminars mean the concretization of basic methodological and theoretical approaches while dealing with selected thematic sets related to the topic of the doctoral thesis. Their content is determined every year, it is prepared individually for each candidate, and it is related to the topic of the candidate’s doctoral art project. Doctoral seminars are set up as active cooperation of lecturers and convenors with the candidate in the analytical research discussion on specific topics or artistic problems related to the topic of the doctoral thesis. The art seminar comprises a total number of 20 credits.
