  • Collaborate with your peers in our Digital Scholarship Lab, a state-of-the-art research space
A global leader in the field You’ll learn from globally recognised experts in the field and engage with cutting-edge research in digital humanities. We particularly emphasise the analysis of historical texts in a digital environment and the use of geospatial technologies to map the geographies of the past.
You may learn about: the use and creation of digital assets and databases; interdisciplinary theories and methods as to how these can be applied; and applications of artificial intelligence (AI) such as natural language processing, machine learning, and computer vision.
Digital skills and contexts Computational skills can be used to study societies and cultures of the past, present and future. You will gain digital skills tailored to working with digitised humanities sources such as historical newspapers, books, maps, oral histories and more. As you acquire the technical competencies required to work with these sources, you will place these methods in the context of key debates around the history, ethics and cultures of today’s digitised world.
Assuming no prior knowledge other than a conventional ability to work with computers, our modules will give you the skills to develop your own digital humanities research project. This, in turn, provides the knowledge for a rewarding career in a job market where demand for technical abilities is ever increasing.
