Specialists in Information and Knowledge
Information and knowledge are increasingly vital resources for the development and success of businesses and other organisations. Modern information technology is creating whole new ways of managing and utilising these resources but is also creating a need for particularly highly qualified and professional staff. This programme gives students the skills needed to provide advanced and specialised services relating to knowledge and information in the modern information society, in particular:

  • a theoretical and general insight into information and knowledge production
  • an insight into how to analyse and manage the information resources of a business or other organisation
  • an insight into how to produce information policy and a strategy for putting it into practice
  • an insight into project management and other forms of management
  • an insight into how to plan, run and evaluate information systems in practice

A programme of this kind also provides the background needed for research and teaching in areas of information science such as systems analysis and systems development, information transfer theory, information economics and indexing theory.

The programme also entitles students to apply to conduct research up to the PhD level.

Job Opportunities
The programme does not target a specific profession and its graduates are taken on by companies and institutions of all kinds to fill many different types of positions: information specialist, system consultant, webmaster, library consultant, researcher, IT consultant, tutor or a senior post in the library sector or a corporate information department.
