PhDArts offers an international, high-level doctorate in art and design
at Leiden University and the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague, The
Netherlands. The PhDArts research trajectory consists of two elements:
individual research and participation in the doctoral study programme. An
appropriate team of supervisors is sought for each doctoral student. The
doctoral study programme, which consists of lectures, seminars, trainings,
and workshops, is an essential part of the research environment in which
the student undertakes his or her research.
Research in and through art is an inseparable
part of the artistic or design practice of the researcher. Consequently,
research in art (as opposed to research about art,
such as art history) does not have a set goal or expected result, nor are
there predetermined general procedures. The outcome of the research is
open. This openness is a condition for conducting research in art and
design.
There is a
unique relationship between the artist/designer, the research method and
the outcome of the research. This research is only possible thanks to the
artist's artistry and, the other way round, the artist develops his
artistry through the research. The outcome is therefore an artistic
product, combined with a discursive product, the dissertation, which does
justice to the artistic one.
This final result of this type of research, which is by its nature
speculative, cannot be restricted to one particular form. The criteria for
the form the research may take are therefore kept as open as possible.
Also, there is no fixed ratio between dissertation and artistic production.
The requirements that the research must satisfy and the researcher's
methodology derive in part from the assignment that the artist or designer
has given himself.
AdmissionApplicants must
have a Master's of Arts Degree, proof of study at a comparable level or a
strong and independent artistic practice. The final decision on admission
rests with Leiden University, which will also award the PhD. The
application must be submitted in English.
