Master of Arts in Digital Humanities and Societies
A two-year program focusing on the study of digital technologies and their effect on aspects of human culture, with an emphasis on digital methods and trends and practices in digital culture.
Digital humanities can be defined as a diverse and growing field of research and teaching that brings digital tools and computing methodologies to the study of humanities. The new Master of Arts in Digital Humanities and Societies program allows students to study the Middle East’s digital culture from a scholarly and digital research perspective. Through the program, students are able to specialize as archival print scholars of Middle Eastern digital culture or as researchers trained to employ the powerful methodologies of the digital humanities to investigate practices, patterns and trends of digital culture.
The MA in Digital Humanities and Societies program welcomes applications from students of all backgrounds with an interest in digital cultures and the digital humanities, including students who have recently graduated from an undergraduate program, entrepreneurs, project managers, and working specialists in IT, public relations, communications, libraries, and cultural heritage.
Students enrolled in the program have the option of specializing in one of two tracks, the first being Digital Humanities and the second being Digital Cultures and Social Studies in the Middle East.
