About Frontier Innovation University
Affordable US innovation university in Austin, Texas.
Overview
University of Brigant’s MA Museum, Archive and Digital Collections is for people who already live with catalogue backlogs, fragile paper, and the politics of putting Scotland online. Edinburgh campus or tuition-free online, one standard, with library-parity questions built in so distance students are not locked out of licensed content. You will not be trained as a conservator. You will design access, rights, and digital-preservation literacy. No national-collection logos as endorsement. Dual-pathway students must receive lawful digital surrogates or honest statements that a module cannot run without a licence purchase. The MA is not a conservator or ARA ticket.
Delivered fully online with live seminars, recorded lectures, and tutor support.
**Award:** Frontier Innovation University **Credits:** 36 | **Typical duration:** 2 years (18 months)
