Featured: Master of Digital Humanities

 

The Master of Digital Humanities enables students to develop high-level skills in digital literacy and applied humanities. Our flexible structure allows students to learn emerging digital research methods, advanced critical thinking and data analysis. Students gain an understanding of how humanities research is applied in broader society and are supported to develop communication skills across traditional and digital platforms aimed at both the academic and public spheres. Students will collaborate with researchers from across the ANU, and have the opportunity to engage with the national cultural institutions, the public and government sector, and international organisations in Canberra.

The best part about Canberra is that you are based in the political hub of the nation. That’s really helpful when studying because you're pulling in all the things that are happening around you. It also allowed me to pick courses that were the most relevant to the areas I was interested in.
