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.

This Digital Humanities MA combines digital theory and practice to study human culture. It is led by Dr Barbara McGillivray, Lecturer in Digital Humanities and Cultural Computation in the Department of Digital Humanities of King’s College London.

Key benefits
