Research

Picture made during NEXT GENERATION, a two-day manifestation about research, art and sustainability.

From circular design research to art education, from sustainability to neuroscience: every day, researchers, students, and faculty at ArtEZ work on socially engaged and critically reflective artistic research.

Research at ArtEZ

Research at ArtEZ is about who we are - both as individuals and as part of the collective. As a critical, collaborative, and creative community where researchers and students come together, we address urgent questions and trends of our time. Our research themes focus on urgent societal issues of our time. Through publications, events, research projects, and student-focused activities, we tackle these issues.

Research and research community

A lively research community flourishes by providing space for many different forms of research, by developing a curious and critical attitude, by changing perspectives and by testing your own research against that of others. At ArtEZ, this happens in projects, publications and programmes of:

Professional Doctorate

In addition to a bachelor's or master's degree, HBO (Higher Professional Education) has introduced a third learning trajectory since 2023: a professional doctorate (PD). A Professional Doctorate is of an equivalent level to a university PhD but has a different nature and carries a different internationally recognized title: PD. At ArtEZ, Chinouk Filique de Miranda is the first PD candidate. She will commence her research on digital literacy in fashion in September 2023.

Master's programmes

The ArtEZ master's courses form a critical community of change makers in a world in transformation. A creative community of seekers and finders with the in-between space as a response to new realities. A passionate community of motivated learners, daring to make the difference.

At ArtEZ, this is how we see the role of research in the arts and our master's courses: practicing and exploring possible futures in reality, venturing critically and embracing the artistic experiment, communicating this in the exciting and ever-changing context of global society with energy and vision.

Doing (Artistic) Research

Doing (Artistic) Research is a (pilot) programme collectively offered and curated by ArtEZ lecturers, researchers, alumni and students. In lectures, workshops and exhibitions, students can learn about various aspects of (artistic) research outside their own studies.

Honours Lab

Students in all years and from all disciplines can apply for the Honours Lab, that is designed for art students who seek for prospects and challenges beyond their known creative territory. The Honours Lab encourages to better articulate visions and to situate work in a broader context. It provides a basis for further research – artistic, academic or otherwise.

Research and experimentation

Research also consists of experimenting and trying new things, such as new technologies. What can they contribute to music, fashion or the development of products? The answer is ‘a great deal’, as is evident from the various projects and workshops that have taken place at ArtEZ in recent years. In ArtEZ’s own research laboratory, ArTechLab, students of all disciplines are able to conduct experiments – often in collaboration with universities and companies..
