Overview
Doctoral education in Arts, Design and Architecture from Aalto University is often an apprentice in close collaboration with your thesis advisor(s) and supervising professor. If studying full-time, you will spend 3-4 years working intensively on research topic, and complete this with your intellectual piece of work, i.e., doctoral dissertation.
Along the road, you will be involved with theory courses, seminars, group activities, teaching undergraduates, possibly building your artistic components and supportive tasks needed to make your department and research group able to operate.
Doctoral studies are not the only way to improve and maintain your knowledge:
- With the right to pursue non graduate studies you can improve your professional know-how and participate to the doctoral level courses at Aalto University.
- Doctoral level courses pursued after the Master’s degree can later be included to your doctoral studies.
