What is Digital Humanities (DH)?

Digital Humanities or DH is a novel interdisciplinary field where several disciplines such as computer science, mathematics, literary and cultural studies, sociology, geography, new media studies, cinema studies intersect, and collaborate with each other. In this emergent interdisciplinary field, scholars try to use computational and mathematical means to solve humanities and social science problems often intrinsic to their own disciplines.

Why should I pursue a degree in Digital Humanities?

As a new domain of research, DH poses many positive challenges that will stimulate any researcher.
