The course is designed for development and humanitarian aid professionals (and those who envisage such a career) who would like to add an anthropological perspective to their development expertise.
The postgraduate diploma prepares graduates from Arts and Humanities, Social Science and Computer Science backgrounds to complement their existing research skills with modern digital methods vital for the cultural heritage and information sectors.
The four year programme of study includes, in the first and possibly subsequent years, reading courses, taught courses, generalist and specialist skills seminars; while the second, third and the fourth years of the programme are dedicated primarily to research skills development and independent research.
Digital Humanities is a fast-growing dynamic interdisciplinary field at the cutting edge of 21st century research methods.
