Master Information, Documentation — STRATEGIES INFORMATIONNELLES ET DOCUMENTS NUMERIQUES

Université Jean Moulin - Lyon 3 in Lyon, France offers the Master Information, Documentation with a track in Stratégies informationnelles et documents numériques, a two-year program taught in French with an anticipated September start and annual tuition of 250 EUR. Information and documentation science studies how information is organized, stored, retrieved, and managed, with this particular track focusing on information strategy and digital documents. Students typically study information systems design, digital archiving, records management, information retrieval methods, and the strategic use of information within organizations. Coursework in this field often covers metadata standards, database and content management systems, the legal framework around information and data protection, and methods for evaluating and structuring large volumes of documents and digital content. Because organizations increasingly manage information in digital form, students also study digital preservation techniques and the tools used to organize and search electronic document collections. Career paths connected to information and documentation science include roles such as information manager, digital archivist, records manager, documentalist within companies or public institutions, and knowledge management specialist. Graduates also work in libraries, archives, and information departments of businesses, government agencies, and cultural institutions that need to organize and provide access to large amounts of information. The program is based at Université Jean Moulin - Lyon 3, a public university in Lyon, with instruction delivered entirely in French across the two years of the master's degree.
