**About KHiO**
Oslo National Academy of the Arts (KHiO) is comprised of six departments within artistic practice that collectively create a rich multi-disciplinary environment: Arts and Crafts, Dance, Design, Fine Art, Opera, and Theatre. KHiO educates and supports performers and practitioners at the highest international levels in and across these fields of artistic practice.


Artistic research is a core of many artistic practices, and one that KHiO develops and supports from the bachelor through to the doctoral level PhD program in artistic research, which is a unifying community at KHiO. The doctorate education offers artistic practice its own place in the higher education and research area, thus recognizing the unique and independent contributions to knowledge production produced in the artistic fields.


The PhD program in artistic research at KHiO aims to conduct artistic research of international relevance that produces new works of art, performance, and design, new disciplinary knowledge, and offers new perspectives and insights on art, culture, and society through research praxis. Artistic research at KHiO is expected to be innovative and forward moving in the artistic fields as well as in the practice of the researcher, and is based foremost on artistic practice.


Artistic practice is at the core of the artistic PhD result and is to be accompanied by an explicit reflection, which, when the project is presented, grants others access into the working methods and insights that emerge from the artistic research. Spaces of new knowledge and contextual connections are embedded into and emerge from the artistic research to further enrich practices of art production, design, and performance.


KHiO is part of the joint Norwegian Artistic Research School that provides doctoral training in artistic research methods. PhD fellows are expected and required to participate fully in the community of artistic research practitioners at KHiO and at the national level.


At KHiO, research fellows are hosted by one of the individual departments, and at any time we have approximately 20 – 25 active PhD candidates based at all six departments.
