PhD
In co-operation with universities in universities in Switzerland and abroad, the ZHdK offers opportunities for artistic, scientific or artistic-scientific doctoral projects. In the discipline of design, individual individual doctorates are possible on this basis. The prerequisite for the supervision of dissertations is a connection to the research topics of design as well as the support by professors and lecturers from the Department of Design. Furthermore the Department of Design is also involved with a doctoral group on the topic of "Entangled Environments" in the Transdisciplinary Artistic PhD programme at the University of Linz. Further information on the admission requirements can be found on the website of the PHD Centre of the ZHdK.
