PhD Program - Art History
CategoryPositionThe doctoral program in Art History, organized by the Universities of Fribourg, Geneva, Lausanne, and Neuchâtel, aims to bring together doctoral candidates whose theses cover all periods of the discipline. It is conceived as a common space for exchanging ideas, preparing for professional life, methodological reflection, and also as a meeting place between members of the partner universities. By promoting mobility between universities in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, Swiss or foreign, the doctoral program in Art History offers structured teaching in the field of postgraduate studies in close collaboration between the member institutes.
The doctoral program in Art History has practical ambitions: it aims to promote the completion, within reasonable timeframes, of quality doctoral theses in the various orientations of the discipline. The large number of professors, teachers, and researchers from the four universities involved in the doctoral program in Art History and the diversity of their fields of work and research - from Paleochristian to contemporary art - guarantees high-quality supervision for doctoral candidates in all areas of the discipline and throughout the development of their thesis.
A selection of activities and specialized modules is intended to strengthen the training of doctoral candidates. Scientific meetings will be dedicated to current debates, promoting the formulation and confrontation of ideas, emphasizing interdisciplinary openness, and facilitating contact with specialists in our field as well as related disciplines. International meetings, which can occasionally be funded by the doctoral candidates themselves and which will be dedicated to various themes, complement the training and provide doctoral candidates with the opportunity to integrate into the international networks of the academic community. All of this is intended to meet the concrete needs of doctoral candidates, whether at the methodological or thematic level.
In addition to the scientific training provided by the doctoral program in Art History, a whole range of transversal training offered by the CUSO further guarantees the improvement of professional skills aimed at strengthening their communication abilities, the promotion of their research, and other more general skills.
