Doctor of Arts (Art, Design) (4 years)

Doctoral studies at the Doctoral Programme of Artistic Research in Performing Arts at the Performing Arts Research Centre (Tutke) enable you to deepen your skills as an artist, researcher, pedagogue, and expert in all fields of Uniarts Helsinki’s Theatre Academy. We offer an inspiring research community, great international networks, and competent teachers. Artist-researchers develop and renew arts and engage in a diverse and critical dialogue with various actors in society.Artist-researchers produce practice-based knowledge, expertise and understanding that can be used and applied both in the arts and in other fields of society. Tutke’s doctoral candidates conduct multidisciplinary artistic research. Artistic and pedagogical practice is seen as a way of thinking and understanding, not as something that needs to be explained. Doctoral candidates learn to articulate, conceptualise, and theorise their practice-based artistic knowledge and questions that arise from it.
