Graduate School of the Arts is renamed
The artistic/design-scientific doctoral program of the Faculty of Philosophy and History of the University of Bern and the Bern University of the Arts is now called Sinta.
Since 1 August 2019, the former Graduate School of the Arts has been integrated into the Graduate School of the Arts and Humanities (GSAH) as the Studies in the Arts (Sinta) doctoral program. The previous Master of Research on the Arts no longer applies, but students from art colleges will in future have to complete requirements of 30-60 ECTS, which they will discuss with their two supervisors from the university and BUA. The new supervisor is Michaela Schäuble, her deputy is Thomas Gartmann.
The Sinta are a cooperation between the Faculty of Philosophy and History of the University of Bern and the Bern University of Applied Sciences, Department of Bern University of the Arts (HKB). They are aimed at both researching artists and academics who are interested in artistic practice. They are characterized by a combination of different humanities and social science as well as artistic disciplines and thus promote research and reflection, particularly with regard to artistic practices, creative and aesthetic issues as well as the connection between art and science.
