Apply for doctoral studies

The studies for a doctoral degree comprise 60 credits and a dissertation. As a full-time student, it takes about four years to complete the degree.

The school's Departments of Film, Television and Scenography, Media, Design, and Art offer studies leading to a doctor of arts degree in their own fields of research.
A doctor of science degree can be completed at the school's Department of Architecture, which is the oldest and largest educational institute in the field of architecture.
Application period for Doctor of Arts and Doctor of Science (architecture) programme is 1 March – 31 March each year.
