CILIP accredits undergraduate and postgraduate library and information courses in England, Wales and Scotland. Successful completion of an accredited course will help you get professional posts in the UK and elsewhere in the world. It will also enable you to register to Charter with CILIP.
The accreditation process is primarily concerned with assessing the relevance of the course to current and developing practice in librarianship and information science, and courses are assessed using the Accreditation Instrument. Initial accreditation may be for anything up to five years, however, CILIP will review accreditation if there are substantial changes to either the content of the course or within the academic institution. The date of the next scheduled accreditation visit is to the right of the course details in the list that follows.
If you want to know about the accreditation process, or wish to find out when CILIP can arrange to visit your institution please contact: quals@cilip.org.uk.
Contact the appropriate admissions departments for full entry requirements, and for detailed information on the content and the mode of delivery. The admissions department will also be able to tell you about any waiting lists for places.
Most courses are offered as full-time or part-time by day release. The Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, the University of Wales, Aberystwyth and Northumbria University in Newcastle offer distance learning options.
