This Digital Humanities MA combines digital theory and practice to study human culture. You’ll use critical theory, case studies, and hands-on, project-based exercises to examine digital representations of human culture in all forms, from history, languages, and music to museums, digital publishing, and more. You will learn the basic structures and syntax of several digital tools and frameworks, including the widely-used programming language Python. As well as giving you an excellent conceptual understanding of how programming works, it will also teach you how to create coding-driven projects to generate your own research and equip you with desirable, transferable skills at the intersection between critical thinking and digital practice.
Graduates of this Digital Humanities master’s are well-placed to pursue various careers. Some have worked in cultural heritage industries, publishing houses, digital media/marketing companies, and other digital strategy positions in London and overseas. Other Digital Humanities MA graduates have continued their careers in the academic and research sector, with some even pursuing PhDs.
Digital Humanities MA graduate roles include:
Program Manager at Amazon
“Based on the solid skill set I acquired, I became much more confident in applying for jobs in the tech sector. The programme also sparked lots of interest in me for working on AI, so I was fortunate to start at Amazon Alexa.”
Salesforce Consultant
“Completing the MA gave me the opportunity to learn digital skills that I previously lacked. It expanded my knowledge of the effects of living in a digital era and my understanding of how to leverage digitisation in business, research, and everyday life. It didn’t teach me everything, but it laid the foundations for me to enter a job in tech. With this knowledge, combined with the skill of programming, I was able to enter the job market with skills that I didn’t have before and ended up becoming a consultant for a SaaS company.
