Research

Since the beginning, the focus of SKH has been to create an environment that enables artistic research to be carried out between active researchers, doctoral students, artists, teachers and students at all levels of education. We have around 50 ongoing research and development projects.

Since 2016, SKH has been authorised to award doctoral degrees in artistic practices, and we offer third cycle studies in the subject area Performative and Media-Based Practices.

SKH's research area is Artistic Practices. This means that all research is carried out from the starting point of artistic practice in some way or other. The four subject specialisations included in the area are Film and Media, Choreography, Opera and Performing Arts.
