About the Doctoral School
The Doctoral School of the University of Theatre and Film Arts (SZFE) allows one to obtain the academic degrees of DLA (Doctor of Liberal Arts) in the disciplines of theatre arts and film and video arts and PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) in the field of art studies. The purpose of obtaining the degree is to recognise the results of high-level, independent artistic, creative work and/or research work carried out in the accredited field of theatre, film and video art or art science.
The doctoral programme is a training and research activity carried out within the framework of individual or group preparation adapted to the discipline’s specificities and the doctoral student’s needs. It includes regular reporting elements.
DLA programme
The DLA programme includes the theoretical and historical approach to theatre, motion picture and cinematography, as well as the teaching of classical and contemporary cultural and cultural-historical contexts. In addition to acquiring knowledge that requires theoretical and practical creative thinking, specialised areas essential from the point of view of contemporary culture are also part of the curriculum. The DLA programme aims to create an original work of art, conduct artistic research related to the creative process and write a thesis summarising the results of the research-creative process. You can apply for the DLA programme with a research plan and a work plan for an artwork to be created over four academic years.
