Short Description
The Centre of Digital Humanities, Cultures and Media at the University of Manchester, previously known as the Centre for Digital Humanities (DH@Manchester), is one of the UK’s largest hubs for humanities scholars. Drawing on Manchester’s rich cultural and technological heritage, the centre fosters innovative collaborations between computational sciences and humanities disciplines. It employs advanced digital methods and technologies to address cutting-edge research at the intersection of digital technology, society, and culture. Key areas of focus include spatial humanities, digital media, humanities data visualisation, gender and sexuality studies, critical algorithm studies, platform studies, digital visual culture and art, and heritage digitisation.(Source: University of Manchester, nd)
Teaching on DH
The Centre offers a variety of Digital Humanities (DH) courses. Since September 2019, it has provided an undergraduate minor program in DH, teaching digital methods such as mapping, text mining, and data visualization to explore how digital media and technology shape our lives and future. This program allows undergraduate students on single honours degrees to choose a Minor in Digital Humanities. Upon completing two DH course units, students will receive a Certificate in Digital Humanities. The program is designed to help students develop new skills, integrating technical expertise, creativity, and critical thinking—essential abilities for success in the workplace.
In 2025, the school will welcome its first cohort of BA Digital Media, Culture, and Society students. This program is designed to foster a historical and global understanding of digital technology while developing the digital skills necessary to address major challenges in media. Additionally, the Centre offers a Master’s degree in Digital Media, Culture, and Society, which equips students with the skills and knowledge to critically engage with key debates and issues in the study of digital media and technology.(Source: University of Manchester, nd).
