Student Experience

Benefit from small class sizes

The program offers small class sizes, which can benefit students’ ability to learn. In addition, students get to know their faculty and classmates well and work on building their professional network.

Expand your skills into new areas

Students will receive a French language evaluation at the beginning of the program and be provided with French learning courses, as it is a required skill for many government library employment opportunities. In addition, the program has interdisciplinary classes, where students can learn aspects of museums and archives.

Gain practical experience

Most classes are taught in a dedicated computer lab, with many practical exercises and assignments that simulate real work experience. Students also take part in two 3-week field placements in different kinds of library or information management work. Participation in Library association events, including networking evening events, skill development workshops, and participating on association committees, is strongly encouraged.
