Research
Two PhD programs are to be found in the Academy for Creative and Performing Arts. On the one hand there is docARTES, a doctoral programme for practice-based research in musical arts, designed for musician-researchers (performers, composers, etc.). On the other hand there is PhDArts, which offers an international, high-level doctorate in art and design.
