The University of Applied Arts Vienna invites potential candidates to apply for the Artistic Research PhD Programme (PhD in Art). The Artistic Research PhD Programme is a postgraduate course of study in the field of art. The programme of study, conducted in English, concludes with the award of an internationally recognised PhD degree (see Curriculum<\/mark><\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The course of study is organised around topics and practices of artistic research, whereby the focus is on artistic work understood as the basis for knowledge production. Reflection on, and exploration of, specific methods and production processes in each candidate\u2019s realisation of their artistic project is integral to the development and a critical component of the artistic research work. The final thesis consists of artistic work and a reflective documentation of the knowledge gained from the project. Artistic research, understood in the sense of comprehensive knowledge production, is defined as an open-ended process. The supervisors are professors at the Angewandte and are recommended by the commission responsible for selecting the candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the selection criteria (see <\/mark>admission procedure<\/mark><\/a>) <\/mark>are up-to-dateness, innovative potential and prospective social relevance of the planned artistic research proposal, ability of critical writing, and the demonstration of knowledge of the national and international artistic and research context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proof of general eligibility for postgraduate university admission (e.g. evidence of a completed, subject-relevant diploma or master programme at a university or college of higher education) and the favourable completion of the admission procedure<\/a> is necessary. In addition to providing proof of qualification in terms of artistic development \u2013 documented by submitting a CV and a portfolio of artistic work \u2013 candidates must also submit a written expos\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
