Overview

With the Archives and Records Management from University of Liverpool , you’ll gain the knowledge you need to pursue an archives and records career in research, business, government, academia – indeed anywhere that qualified professionals are needed.

The MARM programme is delivered in a synchronous hybrid format. Classes are held both in-person and online at the same time, meaning that on-site and distance-learning students attend the same sessions and can interact with each other. Some modules combine pre-recorded lectures with interactive seminars (again, held synchronously for in-person and online students).

All classroom sessions which include a lecture-style taught element are recorded. Those students undertaking the programme online are offered additional tutorial opportunities to ensure they have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss progress.

This programme is suitable for graduates looking to pursue an archives and records career. With the different pathways available to meet key practice requirements for countries all over the world, this programme is designed to cater for graduates in the UK and overseas to specialise.
