The Doctoral Programme in Fine Arts offered by FBAUP aims to add a contemporary approach to research practice in the art field, which requires careful observation of the surrounding context. This programme is an effort to add new perspectives to artistic activity, where practice and theory can coexist. It is an opportunity to gain knowledge for those who create art, and for those who research about it.

Objectives

• Understand Art and its practices as field of research, as well as invest in the individualization of a thorough research process  at a theoretical and practical level.

• Approach the teaching process from the real working conditions for the researcher in the contemporary artistic practices as well as their integration in the production environments and reception of contemporary Art.

• Develop its critical understanding and enhance the critical thinking as a form of artistic research and encourage the needs for crossings with knowledge with other fields of investigative and scientific intervention.

Fields of Specialization

Fine Arts, understood in their contemporary territorial scope, that is, in an expanded field, which means: all the possibilities of contemporary artistic practices, as well as their theoretical counterparts.
