    I can only really find threads on this that are a few years old but I'm curious to know about peoples experience of this course.

    I know it's still really new but to be honest I'm most interested in the job prospects ie. are there any!

    Any feedback would be appreciated :)

    If you are working in the arts and humanities then a course in Digital Humanities increases your job prospects as you gather skills that build on your background. Lots of people go into work in libraries, archives, museums and galleries and there are also some openings in research.

    A number of people who have completed the MA in DH at NUIM have stayed within research and continue to be involved in Digital Humanities that way. The course there has been running for a number of years and has developed as the disciple has developed.

    What sort of jobs can you get in industry?

    I did the guided tour for this when it was starting, I think in 2012? Looked like waffle, and the website description looks like waffle, but I'm sure others will know more than me.

    Thought that might be the case, I did a so called digital humanities course in Dundalk IT was one of the first graduates aka Guinea Pigs wasn't organised well the digital part but enjoyed English Modules and Archaeology. We were actually brought here for a day for a workshop and thought it was a waffly alright but was impressed with the digitalisation of documents and scan machones that end of things.
    I did a jobbridge where I was managing a website and setting up social media sites, think something more in that line might help me more. From my experience digital humanities seems to be all about projects and research moreso than the real/industry world
