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.
The course prepares students for work in information departments, research institutions, publishing and in archives, libraries and museums. Some students go on to records management and business analysis. The programme has been developed with current industry needs in mind and in alignment with professional library and information science bodies. This is the only iSchool in Edinburgh offering a postgraduate Information Science programme.
The entry requirement for this course is a Bachelor (Honours) Degree at 2:1 or above. We look for applicants to have a background in any discipline in order to be eligible for the programme.
We may also consider lesser qualifications if you have sufficient professional work experience within the industry.
