MPhil in Digital Humanities and Culture
Trinity College Dublin
Course Overview
Trinity College Dublin's MPhil in Digital Humanities and Culture is run by Ireland's top-ranked university (QS top 90) and its renowned Trinity Long Room Hub Arts and Humanities Research Institute. The 1-year taught Master's combines humanities scholarship with digital methods — text encoding and data analysis, digital editions, GIS and mapping, 3D and virtual heritage, and the cultural study of technology — drawing on Trinity's world-famous collections, including the Book of Kells, and partnerships with cultural and heritage institutions across Dublin.
Sri Lankan applicants — graduates in English, history, languages, the arts, media, or computing with a humanities interest — choose Trinity for: a distinctive English-medium credential that pairs critical thinking with practical digital skills, Ireland's standing as an English-speaking EU study destination, and the country's generous Third Level Graduate Programme stay-back. The MPhil suits those targeting digital archives, museums and heritage, cultural-sector technology, publishing, and doctoral research in the humanities.
