Centre for Digital Humanities and Information Society

Digital humanities combine humanities knowledge with digital skills. A digital humanities specialist can work in a world rich in information and data, where it is also necessary to program, process data, plan or compile databases, and better understand everything. We offer a minor in digital humanities for bachelor students and an elective module for MA and PhD students, where BA students are also welcome. You can find a minor in SIS under the bachelor's curriculum of Estonian and Finno-Ugric linguistics and the elective module under the Estonian and Finno-Ugric linguistics master's studies.
