Graduates of UCC’s BA in Digital Humanities & Information Technology are uniquely balanced across the arts and computing, having studied interdisciplinary modules from Arts, Digital Humanities, and Computer Science. This programme explores how computers can be used to study culture and society, and what it means to be a human in the age of machines.

Students develop the practical technical skills necessary to succeed in the digital age, while also seeking to discover what is it to be human in the digital age, and how we might see ourselves and others as humanity becomes ever more connected by digital technology.

Equipped with an interdisciplinary skillset, graduates of the programme will have a wealth of employment opportunities open to them across a variety of industries in the technical and cultural sectors.

This programme will be suited to students who are interested in applying digital technologies to arts and humanities research, be it in language, literature, philosophy, politics, geography or similar. It is unique in its inherently interdisciplinary composition, allowing students to take a mix of modules from across Arts, Digital Humanities, and Computer Science. The faculty is comprised of internationally recognised experts in their respective fields, all of whom are experienced in teaching and research. This experience has been demonstrated nationally and internationally and will be delivered to you using a range of blended and engaging learning tools to foster student-centred, research-based learning.
