HUFA participates in the Stipendium Hungaricum Programme with its Doctoral School.
The Doctoral School of the Hungarian University of Fine Arts offers a 2+2 year DLA programme during which every 6 months students have to present a summary about their artistic and research project.
As our institute is accredited in the field of Fine Arts, the research plan should be planned with the focus on Fine Arts. Please consider that the final doctoral project will have to be a visual artwork and a dissertation with the focus on this field.
Once students complete the first 3 years, they have the opportunity to apply for the final doctoral dissertation and art project in order to receive their DLA degree. This final phase of studies has to be completed within 2 years.
Applicants must choose a tutor/ supervisor for their doctoral research with whom they can define their research plan. Each January tutors announce their current research topics that have previously been accepted by the Doctoral Senate. Concurrently the Doctoral School communicates the details and schedule of the application procedure. Normally the application deadline is in mid-April. Interviews are held in May or June and the final decision is made by the Doctoral Senate in July. The application consists of presenting a portfolio of the applicant’s artistic activity and proficiency and an elaborated research plan that are both equally taken into account at the final decision.
Along with your portfolio and detailed research plan an official proof of your language skills should be also submitted in the application procedure.
