PhD in Radio
Through their studies in the field of Radio, doctoral students develop and improve their ability to analyze, interpret and evaluate contemporary theories in the field of sound art, practices and methodologies of work. They use and incorporate practice and theory into their own work, understanding their own activity through research and exercises and placing it in the broader context of artistic production. They know how to convey and articulate their ideas, master and successfully channel their authorial creativity and strive to constantly revolutionize the processes of their work. Artistic research in the field of radio art allows for the questioning of radio communication models through sound, voice, music, language and its speech realization, which constitute the constitutive elements of the structure of an artistic work.

The interdisciplinary doctoral study program Arts in the fields of theatre, radio, film and television includes the study and artistic activity of the student in the performing or audiovisual arts (theatre, radio, film, television, including intermedia arts and arts in new media). The doctoral student, in the range between practical artistic work and parallel theoretical reflection and self-reflection, performs and studies various practices of the performing arts with an emphasis on understanding the context, meaning and purpose. He/she understands, studies and performs the practices of the performing and audiovisual arts and artistically explores the limits and possibilities of intermediality. The doctoral student of arts in the fields of theatre, radio, film and television, through reflection and problematization of existing and known artistic procedures, is trained for critical judgment and forms an individual method of artistic research. He/she consolidates the use of the scientific apparatus in the analysis of art, acquires the ability of methodological self-reflection and is able to independently use the ability to perceive and articulate various artistic concepts, reflect on them critically and theoretically and apply them to his/her own artistic creation and research. The doctoral degree is awarded following the successful completion of the final examination, which involves an oral defense of the candidate’s dissertation.
