The artistic doctoral work consists of an artistic result, documentation and the critical reflection, and the work will be evaluated as a whole. Artistic praxis should be at the centre of the doctoral work.

Artistic result

The artistic result will be presented publicly. The candidate and the supervisor decide the form of the presentation and is, together with the Department, responsible for ensuring that the artistic result is documented in a lasting format. The artistic result must be at a high level in terms of originality, expression, coherence, and communication.

Documentation

The candidate is responsible for making sure that the artistic research project is documented in a manner that is suitable for the project.

Critical reflection

The candidate themselves chooses the medium and form in cooperation with the supervisor. It is important to choose a medium and form that is suitable for the project as well as making it possible to reflect upon the doctoral work and its content. The critical reflection should make it possible for others to participate in the work mode and insight generated by the artistic research.

In the critical reflection the candidate should explicitly give information on and reflect upon:

• Process (artistic choices, use of theories and methods, dialogue with different networks and communities etc.)
• Positioning and description of the candidate’s own artistic point of view and work in relation to the relevant discipline, nationally and internationally
• How the project contributes to the artistic development in the field, including any innovations
