Master 2 Digital Humanities - Universite des Mascareignes

Developments in technology have recently transformed our way of working. In-depth knowledge of computer science therefore becomes essential in research and graduates in various fields, especially the arts and humanities, often find themselves faced with using computer tools in their field of research and in their workplace.

With this in mind, the Master 2 in Digital humanities, in collaboration with the University of Reunion Island (UR), aims to:
• answer several research questions in the South, in particular in the Indian Ocean and in Africa, and also meet some of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
• train in 2 years students in ‘new’ professions, so that they can develop digital skills, and thus add a digital dimension to their area of expertise; allowing them to open up to other disciplines, even to a larger community.
