Description

For students with 90 credits in history or a related subject, with a bachelor’s thesis, who want to understand how digitalisation affects the subject of history and want to develop methodological skills in digital history. The course can be a free-standing course at advanced level, or be included in the Master’s program in Historical Studies and the Master’s program in Film and Media History.

This course will give you in-depth knowledge of digitalisation and its consequences for how the past is made available, preserved and analysed. The course focuses on research practices and on the sharing of digital cultural heritage data. Emphasis is placed on the changing conditions for historical research and the communication of history to a wider audience. The language of instruction is English.

Note!

This course is not open as a freestanding course next semester. It can be open for application within a programme or for students in an exchange programme. Please ask your academic advisor for information.

How to apply

Lund University uses a national application system run by University Admissions in Sweden. It is only possible to apply during the application periods: October–January for autumn semester and June–August for spring semester.

Extended application deadline

Sometimes the application deadline is extended for a specific programme or course. In these cases you will find the message "open for late application" by the programme/course information on universityadmissions.se. You apply with the usual application steps. As long as this message is showing, it is possible to apply, but late applications are processed in order of date, so it is still important to apply as soon as possible. Please note that if the programme/course does not have an extended deadline, it is not possible to apply late.

First or Second Admission Round?

All international students are encouraged to apply to the First admission round. This round takes place many months before the start of a semester and gives students the time they need to pay their tuition fees, apply for and receive their residence permit (if required), find housing, etc.

The Second admission round is an alternative for students from EU/EEA countries as they do not need a residence permit. Non-EU/EEA students will most likely not have enough time to obtain their permit before the start of the semester. However, even EU/EEA students are advised to apply during the First admission round, as some programmes can be applied for only in the January round. Also, this provides applicants with an admission decision much earlier, which is helpful in making decisions about their studies.

Tuition Fees
