Library and Information Management

Library and information work is the subject of this part-time foundation degree, written for people already employed across the sector. It builds professional understanding and supports those hoping to move into a more senior post in a library or archive-style service. The programme carries accreditation from CILIP, the sector body, and it contributes to training the next group of librarians in Wales. Early units at level 4 cover the information society and information sources. Study takes three years at one day a week, on Tuesdays at Rhos-on-Sea. Distance learning and single modules are available as alternatives. Because the course assumes workplace practice, students should be employed or volunteering in the field and have their employer's agreement to carry out relevant tasks there. No formal academic entry requirement applies beyond the ability to work at higher education level, though an earlier library qualification helps.
