Information Management
The MA in Multilingual Information Management is a one year full-time degree (two years part-time) offered jointly by the Modern Languages Teaching Centre and the Information School.
Why multilingual information management?
The huge growth of digital information entails news developments in multilingual information management. Cultural and linguistic issues impact on these forms of communication but at present, important cross-cultural and multilingual aspects are widely neglected, hence the clearly identified need for a new professional figure: the multilingual information manager.
What will I learn?
This MA programme will provide its graduates, who already possess sophisticated language skills, with the skills they need to function as multilingual information managers, enabling them to find the appropriate content, store it for easy access, and deliver the content in multiple media and in multiple languages. Graduates will also be able to develop a strategy for managing content, which will save companies time and money, and will be familiar with marketing techniques, training and customer support. Specifically, graduates will gain:
- Sound language knowledge and cultural awareness
- Strong technical background in areas such as Web-content management, electronic publishing and usability
- Solid project management skills
- Interest in marketing, especially through new media.
