About me

Hello, my name is Laura and I study Data and Discourse Studies. I chose this degree programme because I am very interested in combining computer science tools with research in the humanities. Moreover, the degree programme is the only one of its kind in the world.

Laura,
M.A. Data and Discourse Studies

The TU was one of the nearest universities and convinced me with its technology-driven approach that also comes into play in the humanities.
