Program Description
Objectives
All courses that make up the Master’s and Doctorate programs are linked to the Area of Concentration Theories and Interdisciplinary Poetic Processes.
The objective is to promote effective and verticalized dialogue between the course syllabi, the research projects of students from the three lines of the program, and the investigations developed in the projects and research groups coordinated by the faculty members associated with the Postgraduate Program in Arts, Culture, and Languages.
Furthermore, the integration between the Master’s and Doctorate programs, as well as between postgraduate and undergraduate education, enhances and makes the exchange of experiences and the maturation of research within the program even more intense and dynamic.
Graduate Profile
The Program aims to train artists and researchers capable of engaging in the field with projects and research that drive artistic production and theoretical/critical and techno-scientific reflection from a humanist perspective.
The course profile and the professional to be trained are based on the Interdisciplinary Bachelor’s in Arts, which brings together artists and researchers who work in the research lines that comprise this proposal.
