> What is DAH?
>
> The ever-evolving developments in computing and their performative and
> analytical implications have brought about a quantum leap in arts and
> humanities research and practice. Digital Arts and Humanities is a field of
> study, research, teaching, and invention at the intersection of computing
> and information management with the arts and humanities.
>
> The DAH Structured PhD programme will create the research platform, the
> structures, partnerships and innovation models by which fourth-level
> researchers can engage with a wide range of stakeholders in order to
> contribute to the developing digital arts and humanities community
> world-wide, as participants and as leaders.
>
> Programme Structure
>
> Candidates will complete core, training and career development modules,
> including main modules shared across the consortium and others
> institutionally-based. The overall aim of the taught modules are threefold:
> 1) to introduce students to the history and theoretical issues in digital
> arts/humanities; 2) to provide the skills needed to apply advanced
> computational and information management paradigms to humanities/arts
> research; 3) to provide an enabling framework for students to develop
> generic and transferable skills to carry out their final research
> projects/dissertations.
>
> Year 1 of the four-year programme includes core and optional graduate
> education modules delivered in Dublin, Cork, Galway and Maynooth. These
> modules provide a grounding in essential research skills and transferable
> skills together with access to specialist topics. In years 2 and 3 work on
> PhD research projects is supplemented with access to elective modules. Year
> 3 features practical placements in industry, academic research environments
> or cultural institutions.
>
> University College Cork has a strong track record in Digital Humanities and
> has been a pioneer in the development of digital tools for language study
> and historiography. The College of Arts (CACSSS) has particular strengths
> in European and Irish history, Renaissance Studies, English language and
> literature, Music and musicology, among others.
