Master of Arts in Digital Humanities for Cultural Professionals [MADHCP]

The MADHCP programme is offered in a one-year full-time mode. Most courses are offered once per year. Full-time students are expected to complete the programme requirements within one year. Classes in the same or different semester(s) may be scheduled on weekday daytime/evenings, weekends and/or during long holidays at the Tai Po Campus / Tseung Kwan O Study Centre / North Point Study Centre / Kowloon Tong Satellite Study Centre and/or other locations as decided by the University.

Semesters

The programme will be taught over two semesters, September-December and January-June. There will be a non-teaching period before the end of each semester for students to complete course assignments. Students normally complete all coursework by the end of May, or early-June for students taking the Digital Humanities Project. Final results are normally announced in August.

Programme Requirements

The MADHCP programme consists of 24 credit points (cps) and will be offered in a one-year full-time mode. Students are required to take two core courses and six elective courses to complete the programme. Alternatively, one elective can be replaced by a Digital Humanities Project.
