The MA in Humanities Computing Programme at the University of Alberta in 
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada is currently accepting applications from 
qualified applicants for the Fall 2011 cohort. We are looking for 
students from any academic background with a good grade point average 
and an interest in undertaking graduate-level training in the digital 
humanities.

Most of our students receive funding either through entrance 
scholarships or graduate research assistantships. Current graduate 
students are working on research projects such as:

Implementing New Knowledge Environments (INKE)
Mapping Information Science 1994-present
Viral Analytics
Speculative Timelines
Text Mining and Visualization for Literary Historical Analysis
Just What Do They Do? - Studying how people use text analysis tools
GRAND - Augmented Reality Games

More information about the programme, including application 
instructions, is available here: www.huco.ualberta.ca or by writing to
