Diploma in Biomedical Electronics
Graduation Criteria
In order to graduate with a Diploma
in Biomedical Electronics Engineering, you must
satisfy the modular criteria set by the School
of Engineering. Most students should be able to
do this within 3 years of enrolment if they are
deemed to have successfully completed 5 modules,
or its equivalent, per semester .
How
the Modular Structure Works
Modules at the Republic fall into three broad categories: as can be seen from
Table 1 above, these consist of Core modules and Freely
Chosen modules. To satisfy the requirements of the Diploma, you must select
a certain number of modules out of the range offered in each category. These
have been stated in Table 1 above as well as in the following table:

Core
Modules
There are 3 types of Core modules:
General, Discipline-specific and Specialisation-specific
modules. General modules aim to ground you in generic
skills such as cognitive process, linguistic , entrepreneurial skills, as well as equip you with
a foundational knowledge of culture, technical
communication and methods of personal development.
Discipline-specific modules
focus on developing your knowledge of Biomedical
Electronics while Specialization-specific modules
are designed to deepen your understanding of
the area within Biomedical Electronics.
Freely
Chosen Modules
Lastly, two of the thirty modules
you will take in total can be freely chosen from
the entire range of modules offered at the Republic.
