Digital Humanities

Technische Universität Dresden · Dresden, Germany

The courses in the four-semester Digital Humanities master’s degree program are geared towards students of humanities and social sciences who would like to explore the opportunities offered by computer-supported teaching, research and transfer and how to apply them in practice. The degree program follows the Digital Humanities core curriculum (based on Sahle 2013). It is structured to confer a broad range of fundamental knowledge with an emphasis on computer science and a subsequent specialization in elective compulsory fields. Students can choose from: Society and History, Art and Visual Studies, School and Education, or Language and Literature, supplemented by interdisciplinary topics such as Data, Law and Ethics. The program includes a practical semester, in which students work together with partner institutions to develop professional prospects. Partner institutions include the Saxon State and University Library (SLUB), the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden (SKD), the Institut für Sächsische Geschichte und Volkskunde (ISGV), the Sorbian Institute (SI) and the Hannah Arendt Institute for Totalitarianism Studies (HAIT). The content of the degree program is centered on the acquisition of key skills and knowledge that will enable students to shape the knowledge-based society of the 21st century in a digital world of work and media. Of particular note are the foundations of the Digital Humanities, applied computer science, and interdisciplinary as well as transdisciplinary project development. At the core of the curriculum are research and application-oriented methods in the humanities and social sciences in the fields of digital textual analysis, education, cultural studies, art history, visual studies and music. It is rounded off by specific legal foundations for working with digital media and content as well as transfer opportunities between different cultural, education and intermediary institutions. The elective compulsory fields of Society and History, Art and Visual Studies, School and Education, as well as Language and Literature provide students with an in-depth look at the Digital Humanities at the intersection between the humanities and social sciences and representatives of cultural, education and intermediary institutions – such as museums, galleries, collections, libraries and archives. The elective compulsory field Society and History focuses on the interrelationship between digital transformations and historical sources. This includes the provision of source corpora and the indexing, modeling and analysis thereof using specifically digital methods and the subsequent public knowledge transfer. In the elective compulsory field Art and Visual Studies , architecture and visual arts and cultures take center stage. In addition to computer-supported teaching and research, this refers in particular to forms of digital knowledge transfer, for instance in museums, virtual exhibitions etc.
