Hi horrorhag,

I've been looking to do the same course too, though by Distance Learning at a different Uni. I like the fact that Leeds Met is CILIP accredited. They seem to have a good reputation for this course, though for geographic reasons I'm personally looking for something closer. I have friends who have done Information courses at Brighton and they look good too.

Loughborough has the best information science dept in the country according to the recent rankings.

i study info management + business studies there and love it. Its a good department Dunno if they do msc

You work at the uni library?
Well theres your resource right there!
pop over to the careers section and ask the guys there, if they know what IS students generally head to afterwards!

i did once and they had not a single clue even though the woman from careers i spoke to had actually done the course! she was a right joke

Could you let me know through which uni you're doing this via Distance Learning - I'd love to do the course but wasn't able to find anywhere that offered it that way.

Thanks,
