The Masters of Library and Information Management program has many outstanding features:
All courses can be completed totally online and studied from anywhere in the world. Study part-time or full-time it is your choice!
Applicants should normally hold a Bachelors degree or equivalent qualification; or applicants who have completed the Graduate Diploma in Library Information Management or equivalent qualification from a recognised higher education institution may also be eligible for entry.
For international applicants for whom English is a second language, the minimum English language requirements are:
International English Language Testing System (IELTS Academic): Minimum score of 6.0 in Reading and Writing subscores and minimum overall score of 6.5 obtained within the last two years or corresponding results from an equivalent test such as TOEFL or the appropriate Academic English language level delivered at CELUSA; or
- Successful completion of a tertiary qualification at diploma level or above completed in Australia within the last two years; or
- Successful completion of at least two years of tertiary study at diploma level or above conducted and completed in English within the last five years in a country in which English is commonly used, as determined by the University. Where the study in English was more than five years ago, this requirement may be satisfied by subsequent and recent work experience of two or more years duration in a setting where English is the language of business subject to satisfactory evidence as determined by the Program Director.
International students can undertake the program from their home country fully online and can apply to commence in 2012 via http://www.unisa.edu.au/applyonline/default.asp
The program has been developed with strong industry support and is designed for graduates to be “industry-ready.” To this end, students are required to undertake both an industry project and a fieldwork placement (or have an approved exemption). The majority of projects within the program have been put forward by industry from various states of Australia. While not a formal separate stream, the program has a Teacher-librarianship option that has been developed in collaboration with the Department of Education and Children's Services and the School Library Association of South Australia.
Students studying the Masters program have the opportunity to broaden their knowledge and skills in information management by undertaking electives such as digital preservation, digital record keeping or archival management; or they can extend their library focus by undertaking an in-depth Masters project.
Industry based lecturers bring real-world experience to your studies. Credit and/or recognition of prior learning can be discussed on a one-to-one basis with the Program Director
