[open-humanities] Fwd: Introducing the new UCL MA/MSc in Digital Humanities

[Jonathan Gray]

This might be of interest to some folks here! ;-)

---------- Forwarded message ----------

I wish to draw your attention to the new MA/MSc in Digital Humanities
that Claire Warwick and her DH team are launching at University College
London. We believe your students and researchers would find it
particularly interesting.

The Masters degree in Digital Humanities at UCL draws together teaching
from a wide range of disciplines, to investigate the application of
computational technologies to the arts, humanities and cultural heritage
sectors. Attached are a poster and a brochure highlighting the features
of the degree and the range of disciplines included in the programme; we
would appreciate if you could please post and circulate these as
appropriate.

The strength of our programme is that it will allow students who have a
background in the humanities to acquire necessary skills in digital
technologies, and will also make it possible for those with a technical
background to become informed about scholarly methods in the humanities.
In addition to their studies, the students will undertake a work
placement, which will provide them with knowledge and hands-on
experience in the field of Digital Humanities, and a skill set relevant
to the cultural and heritage industry, publishing, and beyond.

This programme is by definition and purpose multi-disciplinary and aims
to build and enhance on existing UCL resources. The students will have
the opportunity to access not only UCL departments, library services,
museums and collections, but also the numerous museums, galleries,
libraries and archives based in close proximity to UCL in London.

Having drawn your attention to the programme, we would kindly ask you to
share this news with anyone you think may be interested, such as
potential students, librarians, and those interested in digital
technologies.

Applications are now open for our new MA/MSc in Digital Humanities for
September 2011 entry. Further information about the programme can be
found at http://www.ucl.ac.uk/dh/courses/mamsc.

Kind regards,
The UCL Centre for Digital Humanities Team

For any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
