Master the tools of data science to discover new insights from the humanities. Work with world-class collections, expert academics, and real-world projects.
The field of digital humanities deals with rich, complex, and often unclear data that goes beyond simple categorisation.
This includes historical texts, artworks and places, as well as cultural records and human narratives.
You’ll learn how to unlock patterns, connections, and insights in this uniquely detailed material, revealing new perspectives that traditional methods alone can’t provide.
You’ll gain the skills and expertise to collect, analyse and transform data from a range of areas in humanities, including:
As part of the course, you’ll have access to Newcastle’s Special Collections & Archives and the Great North Museum. You’ll gain hands-on experience with real historical and cultural materials on campus.
In the specialist modules, you’ll work with data from our collections, innovative research and international partners, such as the Archaeological Data Service and the United Nations Satellite Centre. You’ll apply your data science skills to real-world challenges and projects that extend beyond the classroom.
You’ll be taught by leading researchers across humanities and social sciences. Our researchers use cutting-edge digital and data science techniques that are shaping the future of the field.
You’ll also build a solid foundation in innovative data science approaches, grounded in the latest techniques. You’ll learn from renowned academics, as well as expert data scientists from the UK’s National Innovation Centre for Data (NICD). You’ll immerse yourself in NICD’s leading-edge techniques, practical implementation, and ethical considerations of data science through data bootcamps and experiential learning.
