The artistic PhD research is an independent artistic research that also includes documentation and critical reflection.
The educational and the PhD research must be at a high artistic level and have national and international relevance. The programme shall provide knowledge, skills and competence in line with the objectives of the national qualifications framework (3rd cycle).
The artistic research will be at the centre of the doctoral project. At the same time, the work must be followed by an explicit reflection that, when presenting the project, allows others to take part in the work method and insight that the artistic research generates.
The programme qualifies for artistic performing and research at national and international level.
The PhD degree in artistic research is awarded on the basis of:
- Approved implementation of the educational part
- Approved artistic result
- Approved part of reflection
- Approved essay of assigned topic
- Approved public defence of the artistic PhD result (Disputation)
Different application procedures are described in detail here: https://www.uis.no/en/research/phd-at-uis
The applicant must have completed a performing and/or creative master’s degree within relevant subject from a Norwegian or foreign university or university college. Artistic competence may in special cases be considered equal providing it is equivalent to a master’s degree in scope and level.

The programme allows possibilities for specific research within one of the fields as well as interdisciplinary examinations. The structure and several of the components in this PhD is equivalent to a scientific PhD degree, although the most important component in this education is an independent work in artistic research combined with a theoretic reflection.
