MARes is an advanced, interdisciplinary program - designed for artists, researchers, and practitioners- that merges artistic practice with academic research, offering a flexible and innovative approach to postgraduate studies.
*It is noted that the hours in the MARes call platform appear at EEST Zone.
The Department of Audio and Visual Arts of the School of Music and Audiovisual Arts of the Ionian University invites those interested to apply for participation in the Master of Research in Hybrid Arts Postgraduate Studies Program.
The MARes or ‘Master of Research’ in Hybrid Arts emphasizes independent study over taught instruction and it aims to prepare emerging researchers, either for professional work or prior to a PhD in which theoretical inquiry and experimentation with frontier areas of science and emerging technologies underpin art practice.
MARes in Hybrid Arts is interested in gathering the most curious minds under the Ionian University spirit independently of their geographical location. This master degree program is in English and mostly conducted remotely, being delivered in person during intense short-term residencies (low residency / winter school) during which ongoing seminars on methods and the revision of the research proposals take place.
The MARes program accepts graduates of accredited institutions in Greece or recognized equivalent institutions abroad in accordance with Law 4957/2022, provided they have an established artistic background and a portfolio for evaluation. Applicants are required to submit the following exclusively online through this system:
- Copy of ID or passport
- Recent photograph
- CV with proof of artistic work
- Research proposal (approx. 1000 words and structured according to the template provided) - see also attached file "MARes research proposal template 2025-2026"
