The Master of Library and Information Studies is designed to prepare university graduates for careers in the library and information profession.

 

The Master of Library and Information Studies prepares graduates for work in a range of professional settings, including academic, public, and special libraries, as well as information-based roles in commercial, civic, health, and legal organisations. Our programmes instil professional ethics and social responsibility, foster lifelong continuing professional education, and provide opportunities for active engagement with diverse communities. The MLIS is an in person programme, structured to develop core professional competencies, as well as specialised knowledge and skills for librarians and information professionals. While the programme offers a generalist approach to suit multiple interests and aspirations, it is also possible to tailor learning to more specialised areas for particular career paths.  

 

The MLIS provides an opportunity for advanced graduate study and an introduction to research in Information and Library Science. The MLIS also gives students the chance to complete a research project. The programmes require a high level of commitment by students to the inter-disciplinary content, which spans theory and practice, drawing on knowledge gained in their primary degree.

The SILS MLIS is a highly regarded internationally recognised qualification, giving you access to a wide range of careers in libraries and the rest of the Information Industry.
