Student Reviews
Representative reviews"Genuinely worthwhile"
The course has exceeded my expectations. The best part: the cohort are bright and motivated, which makes the learning environment great. If I'm honest, admin can be slow to respond, especially at start of term. On the city — expensive but student welfare, housing and support are genuinely good. Overall, if you're considering PhD ØA (DOK-E) at Oslo National Academy of the Arts, I'd say go for it.
"A great decision"
The programme genuinely lives up to its reputation. The best part: the consulting projects with real companies genuinely prepare you for the working world. If I'm honest, a few modules feel under-resourced compared to the flagship ones. On the city — nature is the main event — fjords, mountains, aurora, all accessible. Overall, if you're considering PhD ØA (DOK-E) at Oslo National Academy of the Arts, I'd say go for it.
"Mixed but mostly good"
Overall a solid programme but worth going in with open eyes. The best part: the course strikes a good balance between theory and practical application. If I'm honest, would like to see more industry guest speakers in later years. On the city — everyone speaks English, but learning Norwegian is appreciated. Overall, if you're considering PhD ØA (DOK-E) at Oslo National Academy of the Arts, I'd say go for it.
"Solid, with caveats"
There's a lot to love, but it's not without its flaws. The best part: the opportunity to do independent research in the final year is a highlight. If I'm honest, a few modules feel under-resourced compared to the flagship ones. On the city — expensive but student welfare, housing and support are genuinely good. Overall, if you're considering PhD ØA (DOK-E) at Oslo National Academy of the Arts, I'd say go for it.
