The Master’s Degree programme in Text Sciences and Culture Enhancement in the Digital Age (LM - 43 Computer Methodologies for the Humanities) has been designed in response to the growing demand for professional profiles combining a humanistic background with skills on the latest empirical, quantitative and data mining techniques. In particular, it hinges on advanced IT skills specifically applied to the humanities, training students – especially in the first year of the course – in the theory and practice of digital humanities and information technology, and in their applications in the audiovisual field, data base and data mining, and digital methodologies for the processing of textual and linguistic data. It also offers legal (intellectual property and digital technology law, digital libraries), anthropological and geographical (digital mapping) competences. These competences are taught in collaboration with the School of Economics, the School of Engineering and the Law Department of the University of Bergamo
