Details of program
The specialized Master program in Research on the Arts (MRA) is designed for graduates of Master programs at Swiss music and art schools/academies who are interested in obtaining a PhD from the Graduate School of the Arts of the University of Bern (www.gsa. unibe.ch). Students are taught methods of scientific and scholarly research at the university level. Students also gain insight into research work and the presentation of research results by participating in a research project at the university or at the Bern University of the Arts, and by attending research symposia. Through their active participation in the courses in the discipline in which their doctoral degree is to be obtained, students are also introduced to the scholarly and scientific standards in that field. The overall aim here is to enable students to conduct their own research on various aspects of the arts in order to attain the qualifications needed to subsequently earn a doctoral degree from the Graduate School of the Arts at the University of Bern.
