The Institute for Digital Cultural Heritage Studies at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU Munich) is pleased to announce the launch of its new Master of Arts in Digital Cultural Heritage, which will begin in the winter semester of 2025/26.
This interdisciplinary two-year program (120 ECTS) is designed to train a new generation of scholars and practitioners at the intersection of cultural heritage studies, digital humanities, geospatial technologies, and computer science. Students will acquire theoretical and methodological expertise in the study of cultural heritage alongside technical competencies in programming, digital data capture, management, analysis, curation, and visualization. The curriculum emphasizes the ethical dimensions of the heritage practice and public engagement strategies in the digital era.
We invite applications from students with a demonstrated interest in cultural heritage, digital methods, and interdisciplinary research. While prior experience in the humanities, geospatial technology, or computational methods is beneficial, it is not a prerequisite. Applicants should possess a Bachelor’s degree and a strong command of English (C1 level or equivalent); knowledge of German is an advantage but not required.
