Certificate in Digital Humanities

The Certificate in Digital Humanities is an interdisciplinary program that bridges the humanities and social sciences with digital technologies and data analysis methods.

Participants in the program will acquire practical skills in data work—learning how to locate and process large datasets, analyse texts using machine learning tools, create visualisations, interpret statistical outputs, and apply AI methods to specific research questions.

The program is designed for students at all levels of study (Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctoral) with no or minimal prior technical training. It offers a clear and methodologically robust introduction to the field of Digital Humanities. Emphasis is placed on the practical application of the acquired skills in the design and execution of independent research projects.

The skills gained through the program are valuable not only for writing theses or conducting academic research but also in professional settings—such as media, cultural and memory institutions, non-profit organisations, public administration, or the private sector—where there is a growing demand for the ability to interpret and visualise data.

The program equips students with fundamental data literacy and digital competencies that are increasingly sought after across disciplines.

Upon successful completion of all courses, students will receive an official certificate signed by the directors of IMS and ÚFAL. The earned ECTS credits can also be included in students’ individual study plans within SIS (e.g., as elective or optional courses), and all completed courses will be listed in the official academic transcript.

Registration is open until 21 September via an online form.
