Overview

"I have never done distance learning before and viewed the course at the start with a bit of trepidation, but I have found the whole experience very rewarding, and I think that is due not least to the quality of the product and the excellent way the course has been managed and supported."

This is a flexible distance learning programme, delivered online over the Internet.

The programme is suitable for information professionals employed in a wide range of fields including records management, legislative compliance, electronic media and records. Some modules, for example, Management for Information Professionals, will benefit a wider range of practitioners, including librarians, museum curators and other information specialists.

Aims

  • To provide professional training on a modular and distance learning basis for archivists and records managers.
  • To provide single modules on a range of topics for continuing professional development.

Programme Content

The programme combines four core modules which provide students with an in-depth knowledge of the theory and practice of the key aspects of archives and records management, with a choice of over twenty optional modules. These are designed to develop students' expertise in areas ranging from Latin to digital preservation and management. The module list can be viewed on the course website.

"Good range of practical and theoretical tasks to enable development as an archivist. All staff have been very helpful and supportive and provide very detailed feedback."

Methods of Assessment

Essays/reports; contribution to module (through online tasks and discussion board debate); dissertation of 18,000 words.

Entry Requirements

Honours degree at first or second class and relevant experience in a recognised archive.
