Summary
The MSc Information Science builds on the considerable research and professional expertise of our teaching staff. Many of our lecturers are experienced library and information science professionals who bring their hands-on knowledge directly into the classroom.
We place strong emphasis on workplace preparation, with practical learning and placement opportunities embedded into the programme. Employers, including members of the SCEBE Industry Advisory Board, have directly shaped the course to align with current and future work expectations — giving students opportunities to undertake projects with real-world organisations.
