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.

Ability to take up qualified employment

  • Graduates possess the ability to analyse issues in the Computational Humanities, develop methods to resolve them, and implement these methods through appropriate steps, both independently and as part of diverse teams.

  • They can present problem contexts appropriately in both oral and written form and – using appropriate media – communicate them in a manner tailored to specific audiences, including in a foreign language.

Ability to engage with society

  • 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 possessing 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 handling of complex topics assigned to them in terms of content, time and teaching methods, and to recognise interrelationships.

  • They can interact within an intercultural team and work collaboratively on issues with people from different cultural and professional backgrounds.
