Digital Humanities (Master)
Joint Venture
The master's programmes Business Analytics, Data Science and Digital Humanities are a joint venture of the faculties of Business, Economics and Statistics, Computer Science, Historical and Cultural Studies, Mathematics, and Philological and Cultural Studies.
Digitalisation is a sustainable formative factor in many areas of science and society. The solution to the technical problems arising from digitalisation and the scientific reaction to consequences of digitalisation represent a central task of cultural studies.
The master’s programme in Digital Humanities aims at training students who will make a significant contribution to the promotion and anchoring of computer-based methods in humanities research contexts.
