The requirements for the artistic doctoral outcome are described in the regulations for the PhD in Artistic Research at Inland University, and are elaborated on here.
Artistic experiments, processes, expressions, and outcomes are core to the development of the artistic doctoral outcome. The artistic doctoral outcome should enable others to become familiar with and study the research carried out in, and through, the artistic practice. Accordingly, artistic processes and expressions are important parts of the doctoral outcome and can be communicated through a public artistic presentation taking place as part of the final assessment, as well as through documentation and reflection.

To be accepted into a PhD program, you must have a strong educational and artistic background. Generally, you are required to hold a five-year arts- and practice-based master’s degree in the relevant field. Other comparable educations or equivalent artistic competency may be considered, such as professional artistic practice and experience of a scope and quality that demonstrates competency on a par with a master’s degree.
In cases where an applicant’s previous education has been evaluated using pass/fail grades, the suitability of the applicant for a PhD programme will be determined by individual assessment. If the education has been approved with grades, the average grade should normally be B or higher from your master’s degree programme (120 credits) or equivalent education. The calculation of the average grade should be weighed against the credits for each course and for the master’s project. If you have taken your education abroad, you may take the initiative and contact NOKUT for approval of the education. Otherwise, an equivalent assessment will be made by the institution as part of your application process.
In addition to educational background, the scope and quality of your artistic experience will be considered. Regardless of educational background, it is important that you document artistic competency using CV and select documentation of artistic works.
