<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#282828;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">As from 2015 government mandated changes will be made to the Masters of Information Management offered by Curtin University, Department of Information Studies. As a result of these
changes the course will become two years full-time (i.e. four semesters), as opposed to the current eighteen months full-time (three semesters). Obviously this will also impact upon the cost of competing the degree.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#282828;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#282828;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">Currently enrolled students will be unaffected as they will complete the current version of the MIM. Those who enrol prior to mid-2014 will also be enrolled in the current MIM. There
is therefore a ‘window of opportunity’ remaining for those who wish to upgrade their qualifications under the conditions of the current degree which require another one semester of study rather than two. This applies to those who have already completed a Graduate
Diploma (in with either librarianship or records management and archives), or those who are currently enrolled in one of these graduate diplomas.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
