Study contract
docARTES draws up a study contract for each doctoral student at the beginning of the docARTES programme.
The study contract summarises the agreements between the student and the docARTES board concerning supervision, study budget and evaluation and planning of the research project. It is intended to safeguard and facilitate the progress of the research project. The contract takes into account both the general university guidelines for doctoral research and the specific guidelines for a doctorate in creative and performing arts.
The contract states these elements (not exhaustive):
- subject and outline of the research project;
- name and function of the supervising professor, academic and artistic tutor;
- description of the exact tasks of the supervisor and tutors, and the doctoral student;
- tuition/enrolment fee;
- personal details about the doctoral student.
The study contract is accepted, completed and signed by all parties at the start of the doctoral programme. All parties receive a signed original.
The Orpheus Institute, being in charge of central docARTES-registration, will add one copy of the contract to the doctoral student's file. Copies of the project outline will be sent to the supervisor and tutors.
