Gartmann heads the Bern Graduate School of the Arts
Thomas Gartmann has been appointed head of the joint Graduate School of the Arts by the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Bern and the Bern University of the Arts (HKB).
The Graduate School of the Arts (GSA) is a cooperation between the Faculty of Arts and Humanities of the University of Bern and the Bern University of Applied Sciences, Department of Bern University of the Arts. It is an interdisciplinary doctoral program aimed at both researching artists and academics who are interested in artistic practice.
At the GSA, theory and practice are closely intertwined, as are basic and practice-oriented research. At the GSA, doctoral students realize their own project in a stimulating environment that introduces them to scientific and artistic networks. Doctoral students benefit from synergy effects between the two universities and can develop specific skills.
During the three-year pilot phase from fall 2011 to summer 2014, the Graduate School was open to members and graduates of the University of Bern and Bern University of the Arts.
