SPECIAL ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

The minimum admission requirement is a bachelor degree in a discipline other than library and information science.  Alternatively, prospective students who can demonstrate prior learning in the field, including at least five years appropriate professional experience, may apply.  In the latter case, a CV and references confirming professional experience should be appended to application forms. Certified copies of qualifications must be appended to application forms.  Students must complete six core units and may select two elective units, after consultation with and obtaining the approval of the course coordinator.

Students are eligible for Associate (professional) membership of the Australian Library and Information Association, if they graduate with a Graduate Diploma of Science (Information Services) in this area of specialisation, subject to any other membership eligibility requirements.
