The master's degree in Digital Curation and Digital Humanities strengthens the offerings of NOVA FCSH and FCT NOVA in the area of digital transformation in teaching and research, representing an interdisciplinary confluence between the areas of Humanities, Information Sciences and Computing. It takes advantage of the experience acquired in the previous master's degree in Information Management and Curation and follows the growing interest of national and international teaching and research communities in Digital Humanities.

The master's degree in Digital Curation and Digital Humanities offers solid and comprehensive training in digital methodologies, tools and techniques suitable for new approaches to research topics in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences.

In addition to training specialized staff for projects, the skills to be acquired by students are highly valued in the public and private sector job market, such as knowledge in geographic information systems, web programming languages, knowledge organization, data curation, metadata management, network analysis or 3D modeling, among others.Museums, archives, libraries, municipalities, web content production companies, creative industries, tourism industries, educational institutions, among other entities, are potential employers looking for some of the digital skills mentioned.

In this sense, this master's degree has a common core in the first semester and two areas of specialization in the second semester, one in Digital Curation and the other in Digital Humanities. In the second year, a seminar will be held to monitor the completion of the dissertation, internship, or project work, in the respective areas.
