Overview
Print versionProgrammes of Study
Study of the digital humanities may be pursued at the MA level through two distinct programmes, either of which may be taken full- or part-time. (Part-time study is particularly encouraged for those in professional employment.) The courses of both are also open to postgraduates in other programmes.
The MA in Digital Humanities is primarily for those with developed interests in the humanities who wish to explore the possibilities that digital tools and methods open up for further pursuit of these interests.
The MA in Digital Culture and Technology is a collaborative programme involving the Schools of Arts and Humanities, Law, Physical Science and Engineering and Social Science and Public Policy. It seeks to develop participants' understanding of the role and consequences of digital technologies in contemporary culture, broadly interpreted to include such areas of activity as performing arts, telecommunications, information technology, philosophy, law and education.
Digital Tools for Research and Teaching is a non-credit, survey covering the wide range of tools and techniques commonly found useful for scholarly work. It focuses on low-level problems in dealing with and manipulating material in the humanities and nearby social sciences. It covers strategies for finding, evaluating and managing primary and secondary sources in digital form.
A PhD in the Digital Humanities is also offered by the CCH, for suitably qualified candidates who wish to explore the implications and consequences of digital methods for any field or combination of fields in the humanities.

New for 2010/11
Please note: the MA in Digital Asset Management will now start in 2010-11, not 2009-10 as previously stated.
The MA in Digital Asset Management will develop participants’ core understanding and competencies in the requirements, processes and implications involved in the creation, documentation, management, delivery and long-term preservation of digital content, including national and international best practice, and the role and use of standards, both metadata and technical.
The programme will develop and enhance the professional skills of librarians, archivists, curators and other information managers to deal with the challenges and requirements of digital information and knowledge management.
