Overview

The Library and Information Management course at Ulster University is a fully online course, accredited by the professional body the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (CILIP). As a CILIP-accredited course, it is a widely recognised professional qualification internationally.

Key Features

Students are expected to be working in a library/information role (paid or unpaid, part-time or full-time) for the duration of the course. Most of our students are working in a library environment, however applications from other sectors are also welcome (e.g. book shops, information centres). Students who are not in regular paid library/information employment would typically take up a volunteer / intern position while on the course.

The Postgraduate Diploma is a two-year part-time course, with a combination of self-paced learning and regular online classes. Students are generally expected to work on learning activities prior to each of the online classes.

Students will need a PC / laptop, reliable internet access, a web cam, and headset with microphone and audio. In addition to the online classes, learning resources are posted online and students engage in regular online discussion and keep an online learning journal. All assessment is coursework based and we use a range of methods e.g. essays, portfolios, reports etc. The expected total word count for assignments for each module is approx. 6,000 words, and 16,000 words for the dissertation (for those that do the Masters).
