About the Program
The Binational Artistic PhD Program is a post-graduate program of study offered by the Hochschule für Künste Bremen (University of the Arts Bremen) since fall 2020. It is an art- and science-based PhD program organized in cooperation with several international universities including the University of Leiden (with The Academy of Creative and Performing Arts in The Hague), the University of Groningen (with the Minerva Art Academy), the University of Gothenburg (with HDK-Valand - Academy of Art and Design), ZHDK - Zurich University of the Arts, and others. The foundation for the PhD program is the artistic or artistic-creative practice and the resulting research and production of knowledge. The program enables PhD candidates to carry out their own artistic, scientific research, to critically reflect upon methods and discursive or theoretical approaches, to establish their work in international contexts, and to expand their own qualifications through teaching experience.
