Learning Outcomes
Academic aptitude
-
Graduates are able to model knowledge in the humanities and cultural studies, develop methods to create digital objects for this purpose, and ultimately present them in the context of addressing research questions.
-
They have an in-depth understanding of machine learning techniques and current artificial intelligence methods, can apply these techniques to cultural data, and can assess the extent to which a particular method is suitable for answering a research question.
-
Students understand current methods for processing and analysing natural language and can apply them to research questions in the humanities.
-
They are able to develop sophisticated digital tools for the humanities and, amongst other things, can algorithmically process, analyse and manage large volumes of text and language data.
-
They are able to independently plan, design and carry out research projects on topics within the Computational Humanities, and to present the results.
-
Students are able to investigate phenomena that are subject to various forms of change over time.
-
They can process and analyse data from different media and modalities and have an in-depth understanding of the design of research projects.
Ability to take up qualified employment
-
Graduates possess the ability to analyse issues in the Computational Humanities across various media forms, to develop methods for resolving them, and to implement these methods independently and within diverse teams through appropriate work processes.
-
They are able to present problem contexts appropriately and – using appropriate media and taking into account the modalities of the source data – communicate them in a manner tailored to specific target audiences, including in a foreign language.
Capacity for social engagement
-
Graduates are able to reflect on and analyse social, cultural, scientific and technical developments, topics and positions. They are able to find their bearings in an increasingly complex world and to develop a set of values to guide their own thinking and actions.
-
Graduates are able to work in an interdisciplinary manner: they can discuss issues and positions from different disciplines with partners of varying levels of prior knowledge and are able to play an active role in developing participatory solutions.
Personal development
-
Students are able to structure the tackling of complex problems arising from research and everyday professional life in terms of content, time and teaching methods, and to recognise interrelationships, including those between different modalities and over time.
-
They are able to interact within an intercultural team and work collaboratively on issues with people from different cultural and professional backgrounds.
