The Graduate Diploma in Archives and Records Management is offered by the Department of Librarianship, Archives and Records. The graduate diploma provides a general education in archives and records management principles and practice, and an overview of the context in which archives and records management services operate. The course provides a first professional qualification accredited by the Australian Society of Archivists.
Applicants for admission must have qualified for a bachelors degree at Monash University or at another university or tertiary institution approved by the faculty, provided that the degree concerned is considered by the faculty to be a suitable preparation for the diploma. A special entry provision is available to applicants with no formal qualifications who have a demonstrated capacity to undertake study at this level. Applicants should also be able to demonstrate a basic competence in the use of personal computers, including word processing, spreadsheets and basic file management. (Note that the university's Computer Centre offers short courses which will provide appropriate levels of competence.)
