Diploma in Materials Science
Course Structure
To fulfill the requirements for the full time diploma,
students need to successfully complete a total of 30 modules.
The course structure follows RP’s typical diploma architecture
of a foundational year followed by a second year of study
dominated by core discipline modules. The programme is completed
with a third year for specialization.
The following table contains
a list of modules offered for the Diploma in Materials Sciences.
