Doctoral Artistic Project – Preparation and Defence

Objectives

Writing a doctoral dissertation, students gain scientific and artistic experiences of creative work. They describe problems, implemented methods and procedures and the obtained results. Moreover, they make a new artistic contribution to the development of art and the application of their research in practice. In addition, the aim of preparing and defending a doctoral dissertation is to develop students’ ability to publicly present the results of their independent preparation work in a suitable form, as well as to respond to remarks and questions regarding the given topic.

Outcomes

Students acquire artistic and academic skills, develop creative skills and master specific practical skills. They are also trained to independently solve theoretical and practical problems, understand and use modern knowledge. They have the ability to follow modern achievements. They connect the knowledge from different fields and apply it, solve problems using scientific methods, perform simulations and experimental research, present and discuss research results. Moreover, they communicate at a professional level in writing and presenting research results through a written form of a doctoral dissertation and its public defence.
