→ CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SP

Studies in the doctoral study programme Musical Art are focused on the individual development of talent and creativity in the field of musical interpretation and composition, which is represented by a work of art of the highest complexity. The supporting professional topics of the core knowledge of the doctoral study programme are linked to the specifics of the study programme Musical Arts.
The basic condition for admission to the doctoral study programme is the completion of the study programme of the second cycle of higher education in the field of study Arts and successful completion of the entrance examination.

The study part of the doctoral student's study programme consists mainly of lectures, seminars, individual study of specialist literature and individual artistic training necessary in terms of the focus of the doctoral thesis and artistic performance. The studies are carried out under the supervision of a supervisor in accordance with the study schedule and culminate in a dissertation examination and a dissertation artistic performance.

Within 18 months from the beginning of the studies, the student is obliged to take the dissertation examination, the content of which includes the following subjects: Comprehensive Analysis of a Musical Work, Reflection on Musical Culture and Defence of Artistic Performance and parts of the written theoretical thesis. Passing the examination in the theoretical subjects verifies the level of knowledge, skills and competences expected of the student at this level of education. This is highly specialised knowledge, capable of synthesising and presenting one's own views and attitudes on issues in the musical arts. Doctoral studies end with the defence of the dissertation, through which the graduate presents the ability to verbally take a position on the addressed issues in the field of interpretation and creation of the work.

Graduating from the Music Art study programme, the graduate acquires a systematic, coherent and comprehensive set of competences in the specialised field of music art, but above all, he/she comes to know and understand the relationships within the given discipline and interdisciplinary relationships within related artistic disciplines. A deeper understanding of the broader contexts, wide-ranging theories, sophisticated methods and practices in the arts and sciences is in line with modern trends at a level commensurate with international criteria. He is able to apply all the acquired knowledge practically in his specialisation with a significant integration of the acquired knowledge from other professional musical fields. The graduate will acquire comprehensive knowledge, skills and artistic competences that can be used in his/her valuable artistic practice, while being implementable in different musical fields, and in relation to the societal nature of the artistic environment to achieve success both nationally and transnationally.
