MA Digital Asset Management
The MA Digital Asset Management programme addresses an increasingly
important area of library, archival, museum and curatorial activity -
namely the management of digital assets. The programme is jointly taught
by the Centre for Computing in the Humanities and the Centre for
e-Research at King's College London, UK.
The MA Digital Asset Management is available as both a full-time and
part-time programme.
The management of digital content, realising it's value, ensuring its
curation and the management of this life-cycle are the core subject
matter of the MA programme in Digital Asset Management. We want students
to acquire a great deal of practical knowledge, but even more we want
them to develop their critical and reflective capacities, and to acquire
an understanding of the inter-dependence between the developments in
digital scholarship, technology and curatorial practice.
The optional work placement module is seen as an important part of the
programme as it complements the theoretical and historical approaches
taken in the compulsory and other supporting modules. It allows students
to observe and analyse first-hand an organisation in the cultural
heritage sector while gaining work experience and developing
transferable skills. Where relevant the work placement may also feed
into dissertation research, possibly with the host organisation serving
as a case study.
The programme culminates in a dissertation project involving the
application of digital approaches or techniques in some area of digital
asset creation, management or curation.
