Doctoral programmes at the BrucknerUni
Since the winter semester of 2019, the Anton Bruckner Private University has been offering a jointly run, structured artistic-scholarly and scholarly doctoral programme in which early-stage scholars – both academics and artistic researchers – are trained together in the basic principles of research-based thinking and action. In addition, our doctoral students are supervised in their personal doctoral projects by up to three leading international experts in their field.
In our training, we strive for a modern understanding of knowledge acquisition in which transdisciplinary thinking and action, the mutual permeation of practice and theory, and an ethical approach to people and resources are a matter of course.
Our doctoral students have access to studios for dance, the computer music laboratory Sonic Lab, a modern recording studio, and concert halls for a wide range of requirements. They benefit from a vibrant art and research environment at the university and in the European media city of Linz, with its four universities and the Ars Electronica Center. In addition, we offer our doctoral students a broad professional network from the outset through our collaborations with four renowned Austrian and one Swiss university for second supervision: Paris Lodron University (Salzburg), University of Art and Design Linz, Bern University of the Arts (Switzerland) and University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna.
Through our series PARL – Platform for Art and Research Linz, we invite guest lecturers from a wide range of fields in the arts and sciences to present different approaches in art and research. In the academic year 2022/23, we hosted guests from Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Belgium and the USA. Teaching is complemented by workshops and elective courses that provide students with the tools and skills to gain a foothold in the international research community. These range from courses in scholarly writing in English and introductions to research ethics to methods of empirical research.
Regular study time: 6 semesters
Prerequisite: Admission requirement for the Doctoral Programme is the completion of a professionally relevant diploma or master programme or an equivalent programme at a recognized post-secondary educational institution.
The doctoral programme at the Anton Bruckner Private University, an artistic university with strong departments in historical musicology, cultural studies, music education and dance studies, as well as collaborations with internationally renowned partner universities, explicitly supports interdisciplinary approaches and encourages direct reference to artistic and scholarly topics, methods, findings, as well as dissemination and mediation formats.
