The Doctoral School of the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design in Wrocław is an artistic and research unit, that educates people with significant artistic achievements and high research potential. The doctoral program lasts 6 semesters and enables one to obtain advanced knowledge and skills. It is a preparation for receiving a Ph.D. degree in the field of art in the discipline of fine arts and art conservation.

In addition to expanding the theoretical-practical-methodological knowledge of academic research in/about art in an interdisciplinary perspective between the various arts and other areas of knowledge, the doctoral course in Arts, from the School of Fine Arts at Universidade Federal De Minas Gerais, contributes to the qualification of personnel at a higher level working in universities and higher institutes in the field of art through interinstitutional doctorates and for the dissemination of research carried out in the Postgraduate Program in Arts by teachers and students, creating channels of dialogue between this production and thought and practice in art in Brazil and abroad.

As a decentralized and indeed deterritorialized institution, IDSVA offers a low-residency, distance-learning PhD program that allows working professionals to keep their faculty posts and curatorial positions and allows them to maintain their family and community obligations.
