Master Humanites Numeriques

Master Humanités Numériques, offered in French at Université de Rouen Normandie in Mont St Aignan, France, is a two-year master's program in digital humanities. This field applies computational tools and methods to questions and material traditionally studied within the humanities and social sciences, including literature, history, linguistics, and cultural heritage. Students typically learn to work with digital archives and textual corpora, apply data analysis and visualization techniques to humanities material, and gain basic technical skills in areas such as database management, markup languages, and web publishing, alongside continued training in humanities disciplines such as literary analysis or historical research. Coursework often addresses the practical and methodological challenges of digitizing and analyzing cultural and historical material, including metadata standards, digital editing, and questions of access and preservation for cultural heritage collections. Many programs include project-based components, such as contributing to a digital edition of a text or building a small database or online resource, and some include internships with libraries, archives, museums, or other cultural and heritage organizations. Graduates of digital humanities programs commonly work in libraries, archives, museums, and cultural heritage institutions, applying combined humanities and technical skills to projects involving digitization, online collections, and cultural data management. Others move into digital publishing, content management, or research support roles within universities and research institutions. Instruction for this program is delivered in French, so applicants should be comfortable studying humanities and digital content in that language. The program starts in September and runs over two years, leading to a master's degree. Yearly tuition is 250 EUR. Mont St Aignan, part of the Rouen metropolitan area in Normandy, hosts a university community with resources relevant to this field of study.
