Master 2 Digital Humanities

This master's programme responds to how much research work, particularly in the arts and humanities, now depends on computing tools, aiming to address research questions relevant to the Global South, especially the Indian Ocean and Africa, while contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The two-year course is built to train graduates for emerging roles that did not exist in a traditional humanities curriculum. Students add a digital dimension to whatever specialism they bring in, opening them up to other disciplines and a wider professional community rather than confining them to a single traditional humanities career path. Career outcomes mentioned include entrepreneurship, creative and cultural industries, and research work such as digitisation and cultural-data analysis. The target audience spans students from humanities backgrounds (literature, languages, history), as well as information and communication, computer science and management, with teaching built around active, participatory "new pedagogy" methods rather than traditional lecturing.
