The Finnish Academy of Fine Arts has an internationally acclaimed
Department of Postgraduate Studies, with pioneering work in artistic
research and postgraduate studies. The degree of a Doctorate in Fine Arts
was established in 1997.

Postgraduate studies in the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts are based on
artistic research where high-quality artistic work intertwines with
theoretical research. Postgraduate students are experts in their own
field, visual artists who apply research methods to their work. They are
aware of their own method of expression and have an urge to study and
develop the working methods and strategies related to artistic practice.
The primary results of artistic research are artistic productions
presented publicly. In addition, postgraduate students produce information
about their own art works, the process of making and presenting them.

The aim of the postgraduate studies in the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts is
to give the students a profound understanding of their own field and the
ability to produce high-quality artistic work that demonstrates their
artistic maturity as well as to engage the students in independent,
innovative artistic research in the field of their choice.

The students admitted to the Postgraduate Studies Programme leading to a
Doctorate in Fine Arts are required to complete the postgraduate studies
and successfully defend their dissertation in public. The studies are made
up of 240 credit points.

Postgraduate Studies are run by the Postgraduate Studies Department, which
currently has 23 postgraduate students.

Head of Department: Professor, Doctor in Fine Arts Jan Kaila
Visiting Professors: Artists Jan Svenungsson and Ray Langenbach
