Students can specialise as archival scholars of Middle Eastern digital culture or as researchers applying digital-humanities methods to study patterns and trends in digital practice, and the program welcomes recent graduates as well as working professionals from IT, communications, libraries, media and cultural-heritage backgrounds.
Across 36 credits, students take six core courses, including Digital Communication and Media, Methods in Digital Humanities and The Global Digital Transformation, taught by CHSS faculty and visiting professors, plus two electives drawn from across the college's programs.
An internship or independent research project connects students with a local or international host institution, and the degree closes with a thesis and thesis defense.
