Overview

Key Features

Participants in the programme develop the practical skills needed to flourish in the digital age, while also examining the impact of the digital on culture, power, and identity in society. Our programme fosters those new literacies of consumption, production and creativity essential in the contemporary world.

The MA in Digital Cultures invites you to consider the moral, ethical, social, cultural, political and economic implications of digital technology on humanity.

It prepares you to understand such transformations in society, identity, and culture, and to develop digital skills necessary to provide innovative and creative leadership in the digital age. This programme encourages truly transdisciplinary engagement that is creatively enriching for students within a scholarly atmosphere.

The Digital Cultures programme from University College Cork Online offers an introduction to how digital tools and methods can be used in research and it combines innovative elements of theory and practice in digital cultures.

Students will receive instruction in how digital tools can be used to capture social and cultural data sources in digital form, using standards-based tools to frame research questions, collaborate on research using social networking tools, and present results both in print and on the web using current standards-based presentation technologies. Students will be encouraged to and facilitated in the creation of digital artefacts individually and in teams. International engagement and participation is expected and encouraged.
