The Impact of Research - methods, project management and organisation

Do you want to research and deepen your artistic practice? Then the course The Impact of Research is for you. You will learn how to find the research aspect in what you do every day in your artistic practice. You will learn that research is a way of working together and can be a way out of isolation with your own complex projects and a way of sharing the work.

By sharing knowledge research projects build bridges between disciplines and cultures of theory and practice. You will get orientation over the field and identify key actors, moves, and issues. We make study visits and shorter trips and show a picture of the artistic research field and how it relates to other fields. There are no impregnable walls between artistic practice and artistic research. You will map the artistic research field and connect it to other areas. Often you do the same thing but in another institutional framework. Research is also about organisation, teamwork, resources, and research leading.

The course mixes knowledge philosophy and theory with experiences from the Danish Kaos-pilot program. How do you build a team to enter a research field? How does teamwork work? You learn how to understand and handle the economy and resources in a project. You will try different models for the exchange of knowledge and collaboration. You will write about your practice and be pushed to fulfill your visions. You will get access to a toolbox of artistic research methods. At the end of the course, the participants will have the necessary skills and knowledge to conduct their research or be part of a research project.

An aspect of all research is to find forms for publication. At SKH, we call it exposition. 

To turn and squeeze on the exposition formats and train to explain, expose, and defend your artistic research practice in many different contexts and platforms are a part of the course.

  • Application and tuition fees

    If you are a Swedish citizen or a citizen of another EU or EEA country you are not required to pay application or tuition fees. Some other groups are also exempt from the requirement to pay application and study fees.

    A few years ago Sweden introduced application and tuition fees for higher education. The level of the study fees depends on which course/programme they are for, and the level is set in order to cover the actual costs of the course/programme in question. SKH has some possibilities of offering scholarships that cover the whole study fee or that subsidise it.

    If you are required to pay an application fee, the Swedish Council for Higher Education needs to receive your payment by the last date forpaying the tuition fee. The application fee is SEK 900. If you are required to pay the application fee and the Swedish Council for Higher Education has not received your payment by the last date for paying the tuition fee, they will not process your application.

    The tuition fee for the courses is 327 000 SEK.
