Science & Mathematics Centre
Introduction
The Centre for Science and Mathematics aims to provide all RP students with a firm grounding in the basics of scientific knowledge and mathematical reasoning ability. These abilities are not only fundamental to all disciplines offered RP, but are also an essential part of a well-rounded education.
To this end, the Centre works to provide a conducive and stimulating hands-on learning environment in which students can explore, apply and understand the relevant concepts. The core modules offered by the Centre are Basic Sciences I & II and Computing and Mathematical Methods I & II. Through these modules, RP seeks to instil a healthy passion for science and mathematics among our students.
Apart from the core modules, the Centre also develops and offers elective modules to support the needs of RP’s diploma programmes and to allow students to gain further specialisation for employment or further study.
Schools Outreach
The Centre works with selected secondary schools in various programmes for mutual benefit. While RP’s main focus is on post-secondary education, opportunities for joint projects allow secondary school students to experience the distinctive RP approach to education.
