About MA Cultural Data Management And Communication in University of Sheffield

Course description

Cultural data is digital data about human culture and society, past and present: from ancient documents, artefacts and environments to present-day social media, digital arts and virtual worlds. It draws on a similarly diverse range of digital and computational methods for its management, analysis and communication: from data standards, citizen science and web apps, to computational linguistics, machine learning and user-centred design.

This course is aimed at students who are likely to pursue project or product management careers involving cultural data: overseeing and intersecting with clients, audiences, and design teams (for example, programmers and artists). You don't need to have programming or mathematical competencies.

You’ll gain transferable skills and receive the intellectual training you need for a career in the information, media and communication sectors, the creative industries, and the cultural heritage sector (including galleries, libraries, archives and museums). The course is also good preparation for those wishing to pursue doctoral research.
