Digital Humanities

In the Digital Humanities degree program at the University of Stuttgart, you will learn to develop, plan and implement your own projects at an early stage. In the first semester, you will get to know digital tools and methods and learn the important basics of coding. In the following semesters, you can then combine these with your own specializations. Here you will deepen your interests in the humanities in the elective area and apply what you have learned in project seminars. The course concludes with an academic Master's thesis, for which you can choose your own topic. The thesis can have an application-oriented focus and, for example, (further) develop a specific tool or method. However, it is also possible to write a strongly research-oriented thesis with digital analyses of humanities subjects (e.g. literature, film, art, music, video games).

After your studies

After graduating, you can choose from a wide range of jobs. For example, graduates can find attractive job opportunities in the cultural sector - in museums, archives, publishing houses - at start-ups and/or in consulting or IT development. The digital humanities are also an innovative, up-and-coming field of research that is increasingly establishing itself as a doctoral subject. At the University of Stuttgart, you also have the opportunity to follow up your MA studies with a doctorate, which will enable you to help shape the research and development of the department.
