Applicants will first be ranked on a GPA ('GPA1') that is calculated using all but the last semester (or equivalent) of the Bachelor degree used for admission purposes.

About this course

The Master of Digital Humanities (Advanced) explores research approaches and methods at the intersection of humanities disciplines and digital technologies, addressing critical, ethical and methodological questions relating to topics including: algorithmic agency, bias, and creativity; augmented and virtual realities, data ontologies and sharing; digital archives and social justice; and online cultural heritage collections and communities. The program provides students with grounding in critical and theoretical frameworks, and in digital methods, tools and approaches, while offering flexibility in terms of areas of application and specialisms. Students will have opportunities to engage with researchers from across the ANU and with national cultural collections and institutions in Canberra and to design and conduct their own substantial independent research project. This program will interest two broad cohorts of students: those who have humanities training (e.g. in literary studies, cultural studies, history, anthropology, gender studies, classics, or philosophy) and wish to learn more about emerging digital methods, cultures, theories and systems; and those who have experience with digital or computational approaches (e.g. from computer science, information studies, statistics, or the physical or environmental sciences) and wish to learn more about how to apply them, critically and ethically, to creative, cultural, political, and social questions.
