Bachelor of Arts in Humanities and Digital Technologies

Paragraphs

Programme Introduction

Students will be required to select a humanities focus after a year of exploration. It can be undertaken in any Faculty of Arts programme area, such as Art History, Gaming Studies, or other arts disciplines. Students’ growing skills in this specialisation are combined with a focus in interdisciplinary digital technologies, geared to the knowledge and needs of the individual student. These overlapping areas come together in the internship and capstone courses: a focus on experiential and project-based learning in the programme brings together students’ digital technology skills with their chosen humanities discipline to create a truly interdisciplinary programme structure.
