<- Archives UCL - PPE2009 ->

Starting from basic training in IT, communication and management, the programme chiefly aims to guarantee, from an interdisciplinary point of view, rigorous university training in one of the following fields:
- archiving;
- librarianship and document management;
- book retail or publishing;
- natural language processing.

The programme helps students acquire overall knowledge of one of the fields linked to the focuses, which will help them work in very varied jobs within these sectors, in particular through first-hand experience in the world of work (internships).

Thus, at the end of the two years, depending on his professional focus, the graduate will be able to direct or coordinate centres in charge of collecting, managing and accrediting elements relating to cultural heritage, both in written format and through using new forms of technology; he will also be able to manage the conception and distribution of books and other types of media.

The programme is made up of:
♦ core courses (75 credits), made up of:
- 28 dissertation credits and 2 credits for the accompanying seminar;
- 45 credits in basic training;
♦ one focus (30 credits);
♦ and one option (15 credits).

Other accessible masters :
At the end of the master 120, each focus in the Master in Information and Communication Science and Technology can be obtained in a new year of 30 credits only.

1° Student must hold a first level university degree.

2° Student must have training including the following 105 credits:
⇒ 30 credits in general or specialised history courses, covering several periods;
⇒ 30 credits in introduction to different literature;
⇒ 30 credits in introduction to linguistics, IT and language studies;
⇒ 15 course credits in modern languages (German, English or Dutch).
In the absence of sufficient training in one or several of these subjects, prerequisites will be added to the student's masters programme (maximum 15 credits).

If the total of prerequisites exceeds 15 credits, access to the master is subject to the student passing the Preparotory Year for Master in Information and Communication Science and Technology [60.0] the programme of which is established based on the student's file.

Course equivalences are submitted for approval to the chairman of the jury, the secretary of the jury and the academic faculty secretary.

The mandatory professional internships and all that this brings with it guarantee a balance between reflection of a theoretical and practical nature and knowledge of the 'nuts and bolts' of the jobs in question. Interdisciplinary constitutes a fundamental aspect of the training because along with specific courses come other courses borrowed from the faculties of law, economics, social and political science. The learning set-ups are also highly diverse because they include in particular library visits and visits to archive and documentation centres, publishing houses and commercial and cultural businesses.

Evaluation varies depending on the training undertaken: written or oral exams for the courses and seminars, written reports (with or without oral presentation) for the internships and dissertation.
Partner bodies and companies (for the internships) provide an evaluation; the latter will be included in the overall evaluation.

Courses are evaluated according to current university regulations (see General Examination Regulations). Students may find further information on specific evaluation methods in the course descriptions.

If Erasmus exchanges normally take part during the 3rd year of the bachelor, students on the master 120 can take 30 credits in other university institutions in Belgium (course can be borrowed from the KULeuven programme, in line with the UCL-KULeuven agreement) or abroad, and/or undertake internships in Belgium or abroad (for the purposes of their end of study dissertation and/or their focus).
