Archives and Records Management - MARM (Taught)

The Master of Archives and Records Management (MARM) is accredited by the Archives and Records Association as the recognised qualification for archivists and records managers in the UK and Ireland.

You’ll gain the knowledge you need to pursue an archives and records career in research, business, government, academia – indeed anywhere that qualified professionals are needed.

We’ll teach you to work in a way that provides the accountability and transparency demanded for effective public administration or which meets the needs of archive users in the wider cultural and heritage environments.
There’s a strong practical element and you’ll be attached to the Liverpool University Centre for Archive Studies (LUCAS) which coordinates our research and outreach activities.

The MARMI international pathway is available for overseas students who want to meet the practice requirements of their home countries and who need a masters award to do so. Teaching takes place in interactive lectures or small-group seminars and workshops as we believe this leads to the best collaboration between students and staff.

The MARM digital pathway offers the opportunity to take a wider range of modules relevant to digital record-keeping as elective options. This pathway is therefore particularly suited to those aiming for a career as a digital archivist or records manager, or no need for palaeography skills.
