Digital Humanities is a field of study, research, and invention at the intersection of humanities, computing, and information management. It is methodological by nature and multidisciplinary in scope involving the investigation, analysis, synthesis, and presentation of information in electronic form. The ever-evolving developments in computing and their performative and analytical capacity have created an environment for a quantum leap in humanities research and practice. The postgraduate programme in Digital Humanities and Culture provides the opportunity for students to engage in this new and dynamic area of research via the technologies, methodologies, and theories for digitally-mediated humanities.

Undergraduate Trinity Elective (5 ECTS): ‘Thinking Digitally and Culturally’ 

In this Trinity Elective, students will learn about digital humanities and how it bridges technological and cultural fields to give us new ways of looking at the world. This elective will help you think and act critically with regards to technology and culture.

Trinity Electives are stand-alone 5 ECTS modules outside of students’ core disciplines. Many Erasmus students enjoy taking this dynamic multidisciplinary module, if we may say so!
