Master of Data Science (Digital Humanities) MDS

Explore how data science can unlock new insights into culture, history, and society. This interdisciplinary conversion course equips you with the technical and critical skills to analyse large-scale cultural data preparing you for careers in digital heritage, publishing, cultural analytics, and beyond.From personalised medicine, to smart cities and sustainable solutions, data science is building a better world. At the same time, developments in technology have made the field of data science more accessible than ever, creating new opportunities to gain insight into the interactions between people and their environment. This has led to a significant increase in demand for skilled data scientists. Drawing on this, we have created the Master of Data Science (Digital Humanities), a conversion course that opens up a future in data science even if your first degree is in a non-quantitative subject such as arts and humanities. The course equips you with the skills to process and analyse data, communicate your findings to a wide audience whilst applying this knowledge to practical situations. The MDS culminates in the research project, an in-depth investigation into an area of specific interest in which you apply the skills you’ve learned during the course to a research problem in a humanities domain of your choice.
