Hi there, how many students usually start the Digital Humanities MA in the winter semester?

Wie lange dauert es, bis man eine Rückmeldung kriegt über eine Zulassung zum Digital Humanities Master?

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Business Informatics and currently work as a Product Owner. I’m considering doing a Master’s in Digital Humanities but I’m not sure if it makes sense with my background.

What interests me is the combination of technology and the social sciences/humanities. I don’t necessarily want to go deeper into the technical side, but rather understand how technology affects society, culture and people.
I feel like this could complement my current background quite well, but I’m wondering if I’m overlooking any downsides or if it might be a strange choice career-wise.

The other option I’m considering is UX/UI, although I’m not sure if I actually want to specialize in that… again, not sure and I am very indecisive.
(As a side note, I’d also like to learn frontend development in my free time, but I see that more as a personal interest than as a potential career change.)

Would you recommend a Digital Humanities Master’s in my situation or would you go for something else?

Also: I’m including the course list from the previous year, in case anyone wants to take a look at it for reference.
