What is DH?
How do new technologies impact on our lives? How do we as human beings imagine, develop and build digital tools to make our lives better? How do we use computers to study the arts and humanities?
Digital humanities is a field which explores how the digital can enable innovation, but also, how technology is changing what it means for us be human beings. Students and scholars working in the digital humanities utilise digital tools and methods to explore the arts and humanities, actively participating in building and experimenting in order to investigate society and culture.
Our graduates, developed in a student-led innovative learning environment, are researchers and critical thinkers, excellent writers, experienced communicators (across a range of media) and enthusiastic collaborators who have worked on real-world projects that have demonstrable impact.
