About this course
This CILIP-accredited course prepares you for a library career in a variety of sectors. Most applicants have several months’ work experience in a library or information-related role, but there is flexibility around this. Please contact us if you have queries about your work experience. If you’re more experienced, you could take the Professional Enhancement Programme.
You’ll need at least a good 2:2 in any subject and you would normally be expected to have some library or related work experience.
If you don’t have a first degree, but you have other qualifications and relevant work experience, you may be able to take the PGDip or PGCert.
