Minor subject Digital Philology

The minor subject Digital Philology is suitable for all those who are interested in language and literature, history and culture, as well as digital communication and its technology, software, internet and new media. Mathematicians can contribute to new research questions with their trained logical approach and problem-solving skills. In addition, digital philology offers mathematicians the opportunity to look beyond the (scientific) horizon and gain an insight into the humanities.

This minor subject is a special minor subject. Please be sure to read the relevant information in the general information.

General information

Your degree programme, field of study, examination regulations version and (from PO 2018) minor subject version are relevant for the choice of minor subject. Please be sure to read the general information . There you will also find the number of credit points (CP) to be earned. Modules not listed here are possible with approval.

Please note: Not everything you can choose in TUCaN can also be included in the degree programme.

If you are planning to write your Master's thesis in another subject area, we recommend that you clarify the options in advance with the lecturer(s) you are considering as supervisor(s) and discuss the study plan in the non-mathematical areas. Please also note:
When registering a Master's thesis, a second reviewer from Department 04 must agree to the topic and thus confirm that the topic is sufficiently mathematically orientated. This is not always the case.

A non-mathematical specialisation in this minor subject is only possible with the approval of the examination board.

In the case of a specialisation in this subject in the interdisciplinary mathematics field of study, basic knowledge in this subject amounting to at least 20 CP must be demonstrated.
