Doctoral programme

Aalto University has six doctoral programmes. One of them is the Doctoral Programme in Art and Design, which has more than 200 doctoral candidates working in the five departments. Annually, 8 to 10 Doctors of Arts graduate from the School of Art and Design, and by January 2011, the School had granted 90 doctorates in all.

The Doctor of Arts degree has the special feature that the dissertation can also include an art production, a series of art productions meaningfully connected to each other, or a product development project.

The deadlines for applications for doctoral studies are 15 March and 15 September annually.
