Several changes have been made to the study plan of this master's degree. Please check the information on the latest version here: Archival Studies and Information Governance
This master's degree provides well-rounded training in archival studies and records management that equips students to work in both the private and the public sector, with historical and administrative documents on traditional and electronic media.
Students learn to apply archival techniques using the latest technologies, both to manage archives and to design and manage records management systems in organisations, while at the same time developing critical awareness, the ethical values of professional archivists and a capacity for innovation.
The programme is the result of adapting an earlier advanced vocational training diploma to the European Higher Education Area and adding contributions from the business and professional sector, to meet the demand for training in this expanding area.
Our school has collaboration agreements in place with a large number of institutions and companies, which means salaried placements are available from year one. Over 95% of graduates go on to find employment.

Work placements
One of ESAGED's aimes is to smooth its students' path into the laboyr market. To this end, it has several agreements in place with institutions and companies for students of the master's degree in Archival Studies and Records Management to undertake placements with these entities, in their archives and/or records management services. These placements are always salaried and compatible with the school's academic timetabling.
Ever since the beginnings of ESAGED in 2002-2003 many of its students have benefited from these placements in public and private organisations.
They can be done from year one of the programme, with a limit of 750 hours per year for non-curricular placements. In addition, the syllabus of the master's degree in Archival Studies and Records Management includes a mandatory placement in the second academic year (Module 10) of at least 150 hours in records and/or archives management services. Both curricular and non-curricular placements are salaried.
