A Digital Humanities degree combines aspects from humanities and
computing in one interdisciplinary course.
While some universities offer Bachelors
in Digital Humanities, they are not widely available in Europe, and even fewer are
taught in English.
More typically, Digital Humanities is taught as a Master’s degree
, following
a Bachelor’s in another, related subject. Being interdisciplinary by definition, Digital
Humanities Masters are commonly open to applicants who have a Bachelor’s in an
Arts or Humanities subject, as well as those with Bachelors in Computer Science or
related areas.
Although not yet the norm, a 100% online or blended delivery is becoming more
common as well - which makes sense, given that the subject focuses on the use of
digital tools.
Every Digital Humanities programme is of course unique, but some common
modules will likely be covered. These generally include:
Coding for humanities:
You’ll learn the basics of programming – most courses
choose
Python
, a beginner-friendly yet powerful programming language; and/or
R
, a
statistical programming language.
Collecting and analysing data:
Many aspects of Digital Humanities require
insight into data and statistics, and basics are usually covered in at least one module.
Introduction to humanities:
Especially for those with a technological
education, a course usually includes basics of various humanities subjects.
An individual work placement:
Some courses offer a work placement. This
could be at a range of places, such as at a museum, library, gallery, or publishing house.
An individual dissertation:
An independent piece of research, usually between
10,000 and 12,000 words in length, on a topic of your choice, carried out under the
guidance of a supervisor.
Depending on your own background, you will usually be able to pick suitable
elective courses. With a previous degree in Computer Science, for example, an
introduction to art history might be more relevant than an introduction to programming.
humanitarian technologies:
act as means of creating conditions for determining the personal meaning of all
types of activities and relationships in the educational space, creating opportunities

for actualizing the potential and realizing the human (spiritual, moral, intellectual,
creative, organizational and communicative) resource;
