Masters (Coursework)
This course will prepare you for a career in librarianship, records management and archives, enabling you to meet the demand for information management professionals across many sectors of employment.
You will learn how to apply theoretical concepts in information science in library, archives and records contexts, and examine how information systems can link individuals, communities and businesses with data and new knowledge.
These skills not only help you to acquire, design, manage, access, curate and preserve information, but also give you the ability to contextualise information so it's used ethically and meaningfully.
During the course, you'll gain techniques, technologies and tools related to information management in library, archives and records industry roles. Two three-week practicum placements prepare you for work in these areas before you finish the course.
As a graduate, you can pursue work in a range of information-related careers with responsibilities that include community and stakeholder engagement, program development, metadata and classification, information systems design and digital information management.
After completing this master degree, you may be eligible for doctoral-level studies.
