Research Catalogue of the Professional Doctorate Arts + Creative programme - a research program supporting critical reflection, collaboration, and societal engagement in the arts + creative field

About the PD A+C Catalogue

Professional Doctorate in Arts + Creative is an educational pilot program in The Netherlands for an advanced degree in universities of applied sciences. The PD program at an university of applied sciences is developed to train an investigative professional. PD Arts + Creative is a unique Professional Doctorate program that focuses on the role of arts + creative research: not as a solitary endeavor, but as a collective and relational practice that inspires change and bridges disciplines.

This portal is a platform for publishing artistic research generated by the PD candidates. Within the Professional Doctorate program, this portal will also be used as an internal tool for documentation.
