Digital Humanities

Overview

Digital Humanities from University of Göttingen helps students demonstrate their ability to work independently, scientifically and in a reflective manner in the context of existing research, specifically in the course of a Master's thesis. After successfully graduating, students are familiar with the most important Digital Humanities methods for collecting, analysing and presenting data in the humanities and can apply them in their final thesis as well as later in their careers.  

Careers

The versatile knowledge in the digital modelling of general historical and social questions conveyed in the course of studies is in demand in almost all areas of professional life and is increasingly being used as a recruitment criterion for companies. Accordingly, career paths are less well defined than for other degrees.

Typical focal points of the subsequent career choice are in the following occupational fields, which are characterised by a wide range of different activities and are now preferably carried out using digital methods: Advertising, PR and market research, private industry, public services (social organisations, authorities, political parties, associations, churches, trade unions), the cultural sector in general (education, media, press, publishing, journalism, tourism) as well as science and research.
