Employers are looking for skilled professionals with knowledge and expertise in applying digital methodologies to the study of human culture. Our MA responds to a demand for highly digital literate professionals in educational and heritage sectors, as well as in publishing, digital media and creative/cultural sectors.

Research managers and other professionals in cultural industries work with a wide variety of data, technologies and methodological approaches. A critical perspective, adaptability to change and the ability to get familiar with new technologies quickly are greatly valued skills.

Graduates of Digital Humanities have followed a number of different routes. Some have pursued careers in the academic and research sector, some have undertaken PhD studies, and some have found work in the cultural heritage industries, in publishing houses, in digital media/marketing companies or in other digital strategy positions in London and overseas.
