Doctoral Programme in Artistic Research (Dr.artium)

The University of Music and Performing Arts Graz stands for innovative research that builds on the synergy of art and academia. It was the first university of music in the German-speaking world, that offered a doctorate for artists because of the conviction that artistic work combined with academic research can generate new knowledge for art, academia and society.

This programme is a great opportunity for artists in the field of music or transdisciplinary art, who show promising research potential and have the explicit wish to deepen and evolve their art through academic reflection.
