Subject: Humanities computing MA at King's College London
We're pleased to announce that we're accepting applications for next
year's class in our MA in Humanities Computing at King's College London.
Students in this one-year programme develop the analytical and
practical skills that will enable them to understand and apply
computing to the source materials and problems of the humanities. A
representative selection of case studies drawn from a number of
disciplinary areas is used to exemplify analysis of typical problems
and the combination of techniques needed to approach them
successfully. Students are expected to have a first degree in any
humanities subject; the degree can prepare students not only for
further research at the doctoral level but also for work in museums,
libraries, business and the public services.

M.A. in Humanities Computing at the University of Alberta
http://huco.ualberta.ca/Info/
The M.A. in Humanities Computing is an interdisciplinary program of the
The Faculty of Arts at the University of Alberta. The program integrates
computational methods and theories with research and teaching in the
humanities. It addresses the demand for Arts graduates proficient in
computing skills, able to work either in the realm of humanities research
and teaching or in the emerging job markets of information management and
content delivery over the Internet.
The Core Curriculum: A Balance of Theory and Practice
In a set of core courses, students survey humanities computing and its
underlying technologies as they are employed in disciplines such as
history, literature, languages, cultural studies, philosophy, music and
visual arts. The aim is to show how computing is enabling and transforming
humanities research and teaching, and to impart technical knowledge
through hands-on experience with creation, delivery, and analysis of
electronic text and non-textual data and images.
In the second year, the students extend their knowledge of humanities
computing by taking elective courses, including at least one in a
humanities discipline in which they specialize, and a thesis in which they
address a research or teaching issue in their discipline.
Application procedures
Questions and requests for application materials may be directed to
huco@mail.arts.ualberta.ca. When requesting applications materials,
students should indicate their desired home department for graduate
admission (see the guidelines for a list of participating departments).
Some departments (such as English) require applications to be submitted by
the first week of January in order to be considered for certain
scholarships, although general admission is possible after this deadline.
