Overview
The Archives and Records Management MA programme offered at the University College London (UCL) focuses on the management of records and archives in a variety of digital and hard copy formats.
Students learn to manage, organise, interpret and provide access to a wide range of records and archives, focusing on both the management of records for ongoing purposes, and their selection, preservation and accessibility for future uses including historical research.
Careers
Past graduates have taken up professional roles at prestigious organisations and institutions including national societies, university libraries and the House of Commons.
Employability
This programme prepares students to work in a wide variety of traditional and non-traditional archives and information management roles in both the private and public sectors, in the UK and internationally.
