The Center is now recruiting non-degree (non-Ritsumeikan) students for the Digital Humanities for Japanese Arts and Cultures Educational Program.

Non-Degree (Non-Ritsumeikan) Students
for the Digital Humanities for Japanese Arts and Cultures Educational Program

The Digital Humanities for Japanese Arts and Cultures Educational Program is designed to foster young researchers, who are expected to be future leaders of this research field. The Digital Humanities Center for Japanese Arts and Cultures is recruiting non-degree (non-Ritsumeikan) students who can contribute to establishment of DH as a research field. By doing so, the Center hopes to pay its education and research outcomes back to the society.  
     The students are expected to complete the Educational Program in two years, but able to extend it to three years. While its graduate-level curriculum centers on Digital Humanities with its focus on mastering practical applications of advanced information technologies to the fields of the humanities, this interdisciplinary education program also expects young researchers to present their research at seminars, to participate in and/or present their papers at symposia and workshops. Upon completion of the Program, a certificate of completion in the Digital Humanities for Japanese Arts and Cultures will be conferred.
     The Center waits for professionals, such as curators currently working at museums and archaeological research institutes, who hope to lead their respective fields in the future
