The department collects and coordinates the diverse range of digital courses offered by the Faculty of Humanities and the Department of Theology, compiling them each semester in a course catalog. In addition to individual courses from various disciplines dedicated to the topics, content, and methods of the digital humanities and social sciences, cooperative courses are also regularly offered.

Further Courses
What is the VHB?
The Virtuelle Hochschule Bayern (VHB) is a network of Bavarian universities. It offers online courses developed by faculty at the participating universities to complement on-campus study. These courses include online courses and shorter online learning units. FAU is one of the VHB’s participating universities. Several interesting courses in the field of digital humanities are also offered, which can be integrated into your own studies (and credited!).
Registration
The VHB obtains the available degree programs and degrees from the official key of the Bayerischen Landesamtes für Statistik und Datenverarbeitung (LfStaD). Due to the enormous diversity of degree programs, several subjects are often combined into one (after consultation between the university and the LfStaD).
For registration with the VHB, this means that the following selections must be made on the registration form with regard to your own degree program:
- BA Digitale Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften ⇒ Informatik
- MA Digital Humanities ⇒ Digital Humanities (Medienphilologie)
Credit
You can have VHB courses that cover the same content as courses in our curriculum credited toward your academic achievements. To do so, please submit the application for credit recognition , which you can find on the Examinations Office website , along with supporting documents (transcript of records, copies of issued certificates, etc.), to the Program Advisory Service .

For the first time, the IZ has compiled a dedicated course catalog of courses in the field of “Digital Humanities” offered at FAU. This demonstrates that “Digital Humanities” has long been a part of the curriculum.
Lecture series “Perspektiven der Digitalen Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften”
„Beginnt endlich die Digitalisierung der Geisteswissenschaften?“ he answer to this question, recently posed in the Süddeutsche Zeitung, is that the process of digitizing the humanities, as well as the social sciences and cultural studies, has progressed so far since its beginnings in the 1960s that it has now emerged as a separate, new academic discipline. The academic community worldwide is struggling to define “digital humanities”; institutes and degree programs have established the term in the university landscape. This series of lectures will invite discussion of various positions and perspectives, and present individual projects from the fields of digital humanities and social sciences. The speakers will provide insights into the breadth of international research and current academic discourse.
With this internationally oriented lecture series, the Interdisciplinary Center for Digital Humanities and Social Sciences, established in 2014, will present itself at FAU and the interested public in the winter semester of 2014/15 (www.izdigital.fau.de). Renowned experts will discuss various aspects and perspectives in the two central thematic areas of the new interdisciplinary center:
- What new methodological approaches do digital technologies open up for research in the humanities and social sciences, and what questions can they address?
- What are the effects, potentials and risks of digital technologies in science and society?
