The compulsory course Doctoral seminars: Engaging and Exchanging with Peers, 15 ECTS, runs throughout the doctoral programme and ensures a connection to and critical reflection on the research environment at SKH with a focus on peer review processes. 

Elective component 

The purpose of the elective component is to support deeper investigations into specific aspects of the documented artistic research project.

The elective component may consist of elective courses, courses in higher education pedagogy up to 7.5 ECTS, individual reading courses or other creditable elements.  

SKH offers the following elective courses that are open to doctoral students in artistic doctoral programs: 

  • Processes, Creation and Discourse in contemporary music theater.
