Graduate Diploma in Records Management and Archives
GradDipRecMgntArchiv(Curtin) - 187306
This course builds on the curriculum of the graduate certificate to provide you with further studies into the information industry and use of computers and communication technologies to manage personal and professional information. You’ll explore key theories in information behaviour research to better understand how people engage in seeking, managing and using information. The basic principles involved in structuring information objects and creating the metadata which makes them retrievable will be explored and you’ll develop an understanding of knowledge management, its history and scope.
You will complete a work experience component during the break between semesters. This will allow you to put into practice, in a supervised environment, the theory gained during the first semester.

This course is recognised by the Records Management Association of Australia and the Australian Society of Archivists.
