Media Studies and Digital Humanities in Groningen
The international, English-taught BA programme in Media Studies focuses on the social and informative functions of media. It is rooted in the humanities but also draws upon methods and paradigms developed in the social sciences and other disciplines. The degree aims to provide students with a thorough understanding of the affordances of different platforms and the interplay between them; the political and economic underpinnings of media systems; patterns of use, production and content; and the functions and impact of media in culture and society. Throughout the curriculum it provides a comparative perspective by studying media in their cultural, historical, economic, political and international contexts. It has an annual enrolment of 120-140 students from all parts of the world.
The three MA programmes in Media Studies, “Social Media and Society”, “Datafication and Digital Literacy” and ‘Media Creation and Innovation’, provide students with cutting-edge knowledge of the digital transformations that profoundly change society. The MA programmes in Journalism focus on high quality reporting in a cross-media setting with a strong focus on digital skills and innovation, and combine academic reflection with academic skills. Our BA and MA programmes rank first among all Media Studies programmes in the Netherlands in the national student survey.
The MA programme Digital Humanities is a 60 EC track within the MA Communication and Information Science. It is a highly interdisciplinary programme embedded in the Faculty of Arts: it looks at culture, language and history through the lens of digital methods. The programme offers a systematic way to incorporate computational methods in humanities research. The MA relation with Media Studies is strong in the more theoretical oriented courses that contains a critical approach to data and tools but also teaches analytical and creative digital methods.
Research is conducted within the Centre for Digital Humanities and the Centre for Media and Journalism Studies. Its strategic themes focus on “Citizenship and Inclusion in Digital Societies”, “Data Infrastructures & Algorithmic Practices”, “New Interdependencies of Journalism” and “Cultures of Media Production”.
