This programme will deliver both the necessary skills to undertake professional Digital Humanities work and the knowledge of how this emerging discipline is affected by new theories, methodologies and practices.
Individual modules will introduce learners to the fundamentals of Digital Humanities (DH) and Humanities Computing (HC); to XML technologies and their application to DH problems; to the theory of data modelling and its related software engineering methodologies; to the theories, tools and practices of data visualisation; and to the design and implementation of digital archives and repositories. Later modules will prepare learners to create and manage metadata, to contextualise the creation of digital artefacts and text-encoding within the Humanities and Computing Sciences, and to explore a substantial DH or HC problem in depth, within a supportive environment.
Closing Date The closing date for applications for the MA in Digital Humanities is June 30th 2010.
Course Fees The MA in Digital Humanities is funded under the Graduate Skills Conversion Programme (GSCP), a joint initiative with the Department of Education and Science and the Higher Education Authority, under the National Development Plan. For 2010-2011 the course fee is EUR2,500.
Entry Requirements Honours Degree, in a related discipline, normally with a minimum of 2.1 Interview and aptitude test
Career Opportunities This programme will be of benefit to students wishing to embark in such professional careers as archivists and librarians, software engineers, or educators; to existing practitioners in all of these fields who seek further professional development; and to students planning doctoral projects in the Humanities or Computer Science which require a digital humanities or humanities computing dimension.
