Key Information

Digital humanities at the school of advanced study.

Digital Humanities  is an interdisciplinary subject area that brings a range of computational, quantitative and other innovative and collaborative methods to the study of texts, images, histories, languages and cultures, while also being critical about methodology, disciplinarity and pedagogy.

Digital Humanities in the School of Advanced Study demonstrates the value of digital research to the wider humanities community and fulfils the School’s remit to promote and facilitate digitally enabled research across the disciplines. The School’s multidisciplinary DH team comprises academics with strong connections to subject areas including Classics, English, History and Modern Languages and Cultures, as well as researchers and practitioners with technical backgrounds.  

The School of Advanced Study

The  School of Advanced Study  at the  University of London  brings together  eight internationally renowned research institutes  to form the UK's national centre for the support of researchers and the promotion of research in the humanities.

Course structure

Full-time study for the PhD degree entails three or a maximum of four years' independent research, culminating in the writing of a thesis of not more than 100,000 words. Part-time students complete the same programme in five, or a maximum of six years.

After submission of the thesis, you will attend an oral examination conducted by an internal examiner, from the University of London, and an external examiner, normally from another British university.

There is no formal coursework, but you will be expected to participate in a weekly seminar on Work in Progress and to present a paper every year from their second year onwards. In your first year you are required to attend a weekly class on Techniques of Scholarship. You are also encouraged to participate in the regular seminars held at the Institute during the academic year.

Distance Learning 

The School of Advanced Study will offer students with an appropriate topic and level of local resource the opportunity to undertake a PhD by distance learning. These students are required to attend our London campus at set intervals to complete an intensive research training module, for upgrade, and for the viva but will otherwise study at their own location. This option is available to UK, EU and international students on the same basis as our on-campus PhD programmes (three years full time, six years part time). Fees are the same as for our on-campus PhD programmes. Please note that not all institutes and supervisors offer this option, and that some topics are not appropriate to be studied this way.

If you would like to be considered for our Research Degree programme via Distance Learning, please download and fill out the  Research Degrees by Distance Learning form , to attach to your online application.

EADH History

The European Association for Digital Humanities (EADH) was founded in 1973 under the name Association for Literary and Linguistic Computing (ALLC) with the original purpose of supporting the application of computing in the study of language and literature. As the range of available and relevant computing techniques in the humanities increased, the interests of the association’s members have broadened substantially and encompass not only text analysis and language corpora, but also history, art history, music, manuscript studies, image processing and electronic editions. The association’s new name, which was adopted in 2012, reflects this significant widening of scope. Today the EADH’s mission is to represent European Digital Humanities across all disciplines. Since 2015 EADH is a member of the European Alliance for Social Sciences and Humanities (EASSH).

The European Association for Digital Humanities is a founding chapter - or ‘constituent organisation’ - of an international umbrella organisation, the Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations (ADHO). ADHO presently (6/2015) includes

• The Australasian Association for Digital Humanities (aaDH) ,
• the European Association for Digital Humanities and its Associate Organizations AIUCD , DHd , and DHN ,
• the Association for Computers and the Humanities (ACH),
• the Canadian Society for Digital Humanities / Société canadienne des humanités numériques ( CSDH/SCHN ),
• Japanese Association for Digital Humanities (JADH) ,
• Humanistica, L'association francophone des humanités numériques/digitales  (Humanistica),
• and centerNet , the network organization of DH centers.

ADHO has adopted the EADH journal DSH - Digital Studies in the Humanities (published by Oxford University Press ) as its main print publication. Two open access journals, namely DHQ (Digital Humanities Quarterly and Digital Studies / Le champ numérique , are also published under the ADHO umbrella.

CDH launches new PhD in Digital Humanities

• 23 May 2023

CDH has launched a new PhD Programme in Digital Humanities starting in October 2024.

The PhD in Digital Humanities is a research-intensive programme new for 2024 that will enable students to engage at doctoral level with projects demanding the use of digital methods, tools, or adopting critical/theoretical orientations. This programme expands the humanities offering at research and postgraduate level at Cambridge by offering a route for cross-disciplinary engagement, responding to the growth of the field of Digital Humanities as a research area.

The programme is designed to enable students from many areas of the arts and humanities to develop practical skills and knowledge and to generate the necessary critical literacy to understand and engage with digital research, and digital cultures, and to respond to questions arise around the ethics of automation, algorithmic analysis, privacy/surveillance, virtual cultures, data sharing, intelligent agency and creativity, archival justice and digital histories, and to explore work in relation to collections and heritage issues. Through supervisions supplemented by technical consulting, supplemented by a research culture providing research led seminars and lectures, guest seminars, and practice-driven workshops, it provides the conditions for original PhD research in DH or in other arts and humanities/social science disciplines that make a significant intervention into shaping the field.

Applications for the PhD open from September 2023 until January 4 2024 for October 2024 entry.

Please note, the deadline for the Cambridge Gates US Scholarship is in October.

Sign up for the next applicant information session here.

Digital Humanities

The humanities meet computer science

Digital Humanities at the University of Stuttgart stands out as an innovative research field in which the cultural, social, and computer sciences intersect to join qualitative with quantitative methods. [Photo: University of Stuttgart/Kovalenko]

• DH in Stuttgart
• Research Initiatives

Mind and machine

Digital humanities projects aim to open new areas for research in the humanities and to revisit the traditional questions the field asks from a new perspective. Using close interdisciplinary collaboration, researchers employ statistical methods, programming and visualization in areas of the humanities that previously were difficult to access. Analysis of large masses of data assumes heightened importance in this endeavor.

In Stuttgart, the present focus is foremost on methods of quantitative analysis of texts as well as reflecting on and assessing what traditionally have been qualitative questions. Other core themes are innovative editing methods as well as humanistic and social science explorations of digital artifacts.  

Thanks to its interdisciplinary orientation, digital humanities is especially well-suited for pursuing the University of Stuttgart’s strategic goal of ' Networked disciplines (The Stuttgart Way) ' since, owing to the cooperation among complementary disciplines, unique opportunities arise in digital humanities for jointly developing the answers to the new questions it poses.

Digital humanities in Stuttgart

Digital humanities have a long tradition at the University of Stuttgart. Not least in witnessing to this history are two Collaborative Research Centers CRC 340 Theoretical linguistic foundations of computer linguistics started in 1988, and CRC 732 Incremental Specification in Context which dates from 2006. Since the winter semester 2015/2016, installed in the Institute of Literatures have been a separate Master's study program 'Digital Humanities' and the related professorship and academic department .

Stuttgart digital humanities benefits from cooperation with numerous external partners in the region, such as the Marbach German Literature Archive and the University of Tübingen .

Within the University of Stuttgart, interdisciplinary collaboration is manifest mainly in superordinate entities and initiatives. So, for example, within the Stuttgart Research Center for Text Studies ( SRCTS ) the Digital Humanities department collaborates with the Institute for Natural Language Processing ( IMS ), the Institute for Visualization and Interactive Systems ( VIS ) as well as various liberal arts and social science oriented institutions. At the Center for Reflected Text Analytics ( CRETA ) that was set up in 2016, the researchers are collaboratively reflecting on and critically examining technical and quantitative methods in digital humanities and developing the corresponding standards. But there is much more: myriad other formal and informal research and teaching initiatives showcase the joint efforts by Stuttgart’s digital humanities researchers.

Research initiatives

The University of Stuttgart works with many cooperation partners in many digital humanities projects. These projects range from the indexing of varied texts for digital editions, such as Lyric Poetry of the German Middle Ages or Adorno's Esthetic Theory to ePoetics where analytical methods combining qualitative and quantitative approaches are deployed to investigate poetics of literary historical significance both algorithmically and hermeneutically. There is also the TEACaN project linking network analytical geodata to “captivity narratives” in which white settlers recount their (European-biased) experiences as captives of American Indian tribes. Another contribution to the scientific historical perspectivization of digital humanities is represented by the the Quantitative Literary Studies project which concerns itself with the roots of such "literature-mathematical" method before the age of computers. Another contribution to the scientific historical perspectivization of digital humanities is represented by the CLARIN-D for the Social Sciences or ReplayDH are another top priority for Stuttgart digital humanities research.

Since the winter semester 2015/2016, it is also possible to study digital humanities in the University of Stuttgart’s own Master's study program .  Students of humanities here attain computer skills and learn how to apply them to problems in the humanities. The Master’s study program conveys project-oriented knowledge on the practical application of methods and introduces students to the workflows typical in interdisciplinary collaboration. In this way, the study program not only lays the groundwork for a career in research but also for working in the cultural and business realms. Besides the Master’s degree program, other digital humanities-related teaching at Stuttgart includes the Bachelor’s study program in the humanities in which students get their own introduction to the field in a course offered  as part of the “Digital Archive” ( DDA ) teaching project.

Description of the Degree Programme

The aim of the programme is to provide students with an in-depth understanding of the research and working methods of Digital Humanities (German: "Digitale Geisteswissenschaften") after they have completed their B.A. studies in humanities or computer science, and to enable them to specialise in a particular area. Students will demonstrate their ability to work independently, scientifically and in a reflective manner in the context of existing research, specifically in the course of a Master's thesis. After successfully graduating, students are familiar with the most important Digital Humanities methods for collecting, analysing and presenting data in the humanities and can apply them in their final thesis as well as later in their careers. In addition, they will be able to evaluate and further develop various procedures and research on the basis of digital data processing in the corresponding areas of Digital Humanities. The course is thus aimed at all professions in the field of social and cultural-historical topics and digital technologies.

Occupational fields

The versatile knowledge in the digital modelling of general historical and social questions conveyed in the course of studies is in demand in almost all areas of professional life and is increasingly being used as a recruitment criterion for companies. Accordingly, career paths are less well defined than for other degrees.

Typical focal points of the subsequent career choice are in the following occupational fields, which are characterised by a wide range of different activities and are now preferably carried out using digital methods: Advertising, PR and market research, private industry, public services (social organisations, authorities, political parties, associations, churches, trade unions), the cultural sector in general (education, media, press, publishing, journalism, tourism) as well as science and research.
