The Department of Digital Humanities (DDH) joined what was then the
School of Arts and Humanities as the Centre for Computing in the
Humanities. Departmental status was conferred in 2010 and the name

in the country. The Department has a vibrant teaching culture which
offers a PhD in Digital Humanities, four MA programmes in Digital
Humanities; Digital Asset and Media Management; Digital Curation (joint
with University of Humboldt); and Digital Culture and Society (joint

start in 2015/16. DDH is part of the London Arts & Humanities
Partnership (2014) and provides training (in collaboration with UCL and
the Institute for Historical Research) in digital humanities methods for
PhD students across London. The Department was part of a successful
joint submission (with our sister Department of Culture, Media, and
Creative Industries) to the 2014 UK Research Excellence Framework (REF)
for the UoA 36: Communication, Cultural and Media Studies, Library and
Information Management, in which our submission was rated 8th overall,
and 1st for research power.
