"At the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts, theoretical instruction is carried out in a number of classes and disciplines which are high even by international standards. This allows students to receive help and consultation at the Academy in many interdisciplinary areas. The Academy boasts the most divergent forms of specialized instruction in the fine arts in Hungary - such as courses in restoration, intermedia and visual communication. Instructors and researchers can help students with a plethora of issues they might come across during their own programmes, such as those of materials, technology and media, ranging from dramaturgy, art psychology, art theory, architectural history through costume history to pedagogy.
Main Features of Education and Research at the Doctoral Programme:
The education and research programmes concern themselves with outstanding issues of Hungarian and international contemporary arts, and investigate the integration of contemporary art into universal art from the perspectives of art history and art theory (history of ideas). This is realized through the following means:
- courses in social sciences and art theory
- by defining, at consultation sessions, the problems of contemporary arts relevant to the individual work programme
- by presenting and researching professional analogies (student and faculty research and approaches)
- by presenting and applying creative methods and methodologies of contemporary art (analyses of works, exhibitions, projects)
- by analysing and processing the professional, technological (execution) and art theory problems defined in the individual work programmes (practical and theoretical consultations, individual research and practical work)
- communicative tasks with relation to the works, complete or under preparation in the programme
- continuous documentation of the progress of the work - provision of reasons for any deviations and divergences from the plans in the process (in some cases, divergences from the programme will lead to more significant results)
- presentation of partial findings (publication, lecture, exhibition)
- presentation of the background material necessary to realize the creative programme to students of the doctoral and graduate programmes. (In a form which is in keeping with the nature of the material: visually, verbally, utilizing the appropriate media.)
- the planning of the presentation (installation) of realized projects and where conditions permit, its exhibition (publication)

The applicant must select a doctoral research topic which is announced by the HUFA Doctoral School’s tutors/supervisors. The applicant has to contact and consult with the tutor/supervisor regarding supervision. Once the supervisor has agreed to accept the student’s research plan, the supervisor will confirm in a written declaration, which should be uploaded on the Dream Apply platform.
The announced research topics can be found on the following website: doktori.hu/index.php?menuid=116&lang=EN

The admission procedure is designed to select the most suitable candidates from among the applicants, as the Doctoral School can only accept a limited number of doctoral candidates. The decision will be based on the applications submitted, suitability, creative career, quality of the work plan, and additional information will be provided to the Committee during the interview, which will take place in person or online.
According to the HUFA regulations on doctoral training, admission to the doctoral school is based on the submission of an individual work plan for one of the announced doctoral topics, including a description of the doctoral candidate’s planned artistic creation and research work, in a schedule corresponding to the chosen topic, for the first two years of the training period. Therefore, the Admissions Committee will evaluate both the feasibility of the individual work plan and the works presented during the admission interview. Since the DLA degree is primarily required for those who wish to pursue a career in teaching, the Admissions Committee may consider teaching qualifications in its decision.
