Overview

Data and Digital Humanities is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a one year postgraduate programme, so the pace is quick and the dissertation carries real weight.

Teaching in Computing is coursework heavy, with lab sessions each week and a substantial individual project in the final stage.

Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.
