Digital Humanities Certificate Programme
Description
Target group and recommended preliminary knowledge
(1) The certificate programme is aimed at FSU Jena students in the Master's or advanced Bachelor's programme. Students from other universities who are not already enrolled at FSU via other programmes require a second student status (https://www.uni-jena.de/Zweithoerer de).
(2) Knowledge of one or more modern foreign languages, including English, is recommended.
Aim of the certificate programme
(1) The certificate programme Digital Humanities is intended to provide an application-oriented qualification and comprises the sub-areas of the development of basic informatics competences as well as project-related applications of the Digital Humanities:
- Basic informatics competences
- Knowledge of basic concepts and applications of programming and their implementation
- Knowledge of types, functions and applications of databases
- Knowledge of concepts, processes and methods of computer modelling and software engineering
- Knowledge of concepts and functionalities of web technologies
2. Applications of the Digital Humanities
- Knowledge of the epistemic location and application fields of the digital humanities.
- Acquisition of competences to independently plan, implement and evaluate the digital processing of topics in the humanities and cultural sciences.
- Acquisition of practice-relevant knowledge for the conception and application of third-party funded projects in the Digital Humanities.
(2) The degree in the Digital Humanities certificate programme, in combination with a suitable Master's programme, qualifies the student to employ diverse and complex tasks in professional practice either in the field of digital humanities or in collection, research and mediation contexts after an appropriate familiarisation period.
Design and contents of the study programme
(1) The certificate programme Digital Humanities comprises compulsory modules amounting to 30 credit points according to the "European Credits Transfer and Accumulation System" (ECTS1).
(2) The study programme is modular structured. Each module is a teaching and examination unit. Individual modules consist of seminars, exercises, independent studies and other forms of teaching and learning. A module usually extends over one to a maximum of two semesters. The subdivision of the certificate programme Digital Humanities into modules as well as the credit points associated with the modules can be found in the module descriptions and the study plan.

If different forms of examination are stated in the module description, the choice of the type of examination will be announced by the responsible lecturer in the first course session. The same applies to the assessment criteria.
(2) Module descriptions and recommendations for the planning of the study progression (study plan) are part of the module catalogue.
Duration of the certificate programme

(2) The Central Student Advisory Service of the Friedrich Schiller University is available for non-subject-specific study problems.
(3) Registration for the certificate is done informally via the Chair of Digital Humanities (image/object): visual-digital-humanities@uni-jena.de
