BA (Hons) Digital Humanities & Information Technology

Our BA (Hons) Digital Humanities and Information Technology degree is an innovative course where you will explore a broad range of arts and humanities topics, while also studying the principles of information technology and digital media. We look at how the digital can enable innovation, but also how technology is changing what it means for us to be a human in the age of machines.

Our Department of Digital Arts & Humanities is part of the School of English & Digital Humanities at University College Cork, and benefits from contributions from across the College of Arts, Celtic Civilisation and Social Sciences (CACSSS) and the School of Computer Science & Information Technology. So, if you are interested in applying digital technologies to arts and humanities research, be it in language, literature, philosophy, politics, geography or similar, we will take you on a journey to show you how technology can be utilised to study culture and society.
