Program Description
The Doctor of Information Science (DInfSc) at Robert Gordon University (RGU) Aberdeen is a 3-4 year program that provides students with the opportunity to develop their knowledge and expertise in the field of information science. Through this program, students will gain an in-depth understanding of the principles of information science, including topics such as data management, data analysis, and information retrieval. They will also learn about the latest technologies and trends in the field, as well as how to apply them to real-world scenarios. By the end of the program, graduates will have acquired the necessary skills to become successful professionals in the field.
Admission Requirements
Normal entry requirements are an MSc (at merit or distinction level) and a first or upper second class honours degree of a University of the United Kingdom, or from an overseas University, or degree equivalent qualification, subject to the approval of Robert Gordon University. The DInfSc also requires candidates to have a minimum of three years experience in a professional level Information Science-related role. Applicants holding qualifications other than those above shall be considered on their merits and in relation to the nature and scope of the proposed research programme.
Applicants will normally register for an MRes/DInfSc with transfer to DINnfSc dependent on satisfactory progress. However, applicants who already possess a master's degree which includes a significant research component could be registered directly for a DInfSc, subject to a satisfactory research proposal, and clear evidence of research expertise.
Any applicant whose first language or language of previous University-level instruction is not English must normally demonstrate competence in English. This should be a score of IELTS 6.5 or equivalent.
