Master the management of information

Become an expert in managing information in today's fast-changing world. Government departments, businesses, libraries, museums and archives all need people who can identify relevant information, retrieve it, organise it, and make sure people can access it.

 

You'll learn about information services, storage, and retrieval, while gaining skills in management and communication, information technology and research methods.

 

You'll gain a thorough, technology-focused and research-based education in information organisation, oriented to the needs of New Zealand information professionals and national aims to improve digital literacy and inclusion.

 

Study anywhere, any time

The Master of Information Studies is taught entirely online, giving you the flexibility to study from anywhere in New Zealand, and to balance study with your other commitments.

 

Specialise

You can choose to specialise in either Library Science (LIBS) or in Archives and Records Management (ARCR) and this will be stated on your qualification. You don't have to specialise, or you can choose to specialise in both areas, which will take a little longer.

 

International connections and options–WISE

You'll benefit from the School of Information Management's membership of the WISE (Web-based Information Science) Consortium. This links top schools of library and information studies from the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Online courses are made available to other members and you can choose to do up to two of these in your qualification.
