The Doctoral Programme in Media, Communication and Performing Arts produces experts and researchers to work in the fields of journalism, media research, game studies, communications, visual culture, audio research and the performing arts. What brings these disciplines together is an interest in the interplay between the semiotic and material nature of our world, the construction of performances that illustrate our social reality, the public nature of these professions and the dimensions of skills and social aspects, and how we understand communication that occurs through images, words, voices, technologies, interaction, bodily expression, theatre, games, play and stories. 

The programme provides students with extensive theoretical and methodological expertise to act as scientific and professional experts in universities’ research and teaching positions, as well as in other expert roles that require theoretical and methodological expertise. Such positions may be found in public and private organisations, higher education administration, cultural, arts, and science administration, as well as in various expert organisations requiring specialised knowledge in the performing arts.
