Hide-Applicants should present with a primary (bachelor's) degree in any subject with an overall score of 2.1 or higher.
A minimum of 6 weeks' experience working in a library or information environment.
Names and contact details of two referees who can assess their intellectual ability, maturity and motivation.
Applicants whose first language is not English must also demonstrate English language proficiency of IELTS 6.5 (no band less than 6.0 in each element), or equivalent.
While applications are accepted up to August of the year of entry, offers are made to suitably qualified candidates on a first-come-first-served basis so early application is recommended. Entry to the programmes is very competitive and the number of places is limited.
Please note that while it is necessary to have experience of work in a library or information environment before commencing the MLIS, you may apply for a place before obtaining this experience. If you don’t have experience, you should indicate what plans you have to fulfill this requirement.

Please note students must pay full fees and maintain themselves. SILS cannot arrange any pre-programme work experience, nor any financial aid. However when organisations inform us of potential internship opportunities we pass this information on to applicants. |
