3 Chapter 1. Legal Basis and Affiliation The Academic Regulations f the Master's Programme in Library and Infmation Science, the 2013 Regulations, are laid down in accdance with: Section 24 of Ministerial Order no. 814 of 29 June 2010 on Bachel's and Master's Degree Programmes at the Universities (the Degree Programme Order), Section 27 of Ministerial Order no. 857 of 1 July 2010 on Examinations and External Examination in University Degree Programmes (the Examinations Order), and Section 38 of Ministerial Order no. 233 of 24 March 2011 on Admissions etc. to Bachel's and Master's Degree Programmes at Danish Universities (the Admissions Order). The Master's Programme in Library and Infmation Science belongs under the Study Board f the Royal School of Library and Infmation Science (RSLIS) and the External Examiners' Cps f the RSLIS. Chapter 2. Objectives and Structure 1. Prescribed Duration and Scope of Study The Master's Programme in Library and Infmation Science is a 2-year full-time course prescribed to comprise 120 ECTS credits. It consists of constituent modules wth 90 ECTS credits including the final thesis, and elective Master's modules wth 30 ECTS credits. (2). ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) credits indicate the standard wkload prescribed f completion of an educational programme. 60 ECTS credits crespond to one year's full-time study, which is equivalent to 1,650 hours of wk. 2. Objectives of the Degree Programme The objective of the Master's Programme in Library and Infmation Science is to educate graduates who can contribute to the development and solution of complex issues in society within library and infmation science. The degree programme focuses on interaction between people, IT, infmation and culture. It focuses particularly on analysis and methodology combined with scientific and practical competences within infmation architecture and system design, user studies, cultural dissemination and knowledge production and communication. Graduates qualify to wk widely within different sects, including public and private enterprises and ganisations, as well as institutions that disseminate culture, e.g. museums, libraries and archives. The Master's programme's theetical and methodological foundation enables graduates independently to analyse, relate and place specific problems in perspective across society's different sects. The integration of library and infmation science in the degree programme contributes to the graduates' understanding and perspectivisation of practical and scientific issues, to the development of products and to the solution and dissemination of infmation, knowledge and culture. On this basis, the Master's programme is to expand s' professional knowledge, skills and independence and increase their theetical and methodological qualifications and competences in relation to the Bachel's level. The degree programme is also to give s the opptunity to carry out in-depth studies through the use of advanced modules within the subject's disciplines and methods, including training in scientific wk and methodology. 3. Title Graduates from the Master's Programme in Library and Infmation Science are entitled to use the title Kandidat i Infmationsvidenskab og kulturfmidling (cand.scient.bibl.). The equivalent title awarded in English is Master in Library and Infmation Science. 3
