Diploma In Aerospace Avionics

Graduation Criteria

In order to graduate with a Diploma in Aerospace Avionics, you must satisfy the modular criteria set by the School of Engineering. Students should be able to do this within three years of enrolment, if they successfully complete five modules, or its equivalent, per semester.

How the Modular Structure Works

Modules at RP fall into three broad categories: as can be seen from the course structure. These consist of Core modules, Elective 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 are summarised in the following table:

Core Modules

There are three types of Core modules: General, Discipline-specific and Specialisation-specific modules. General modules aim to ground you in generic skills such as those in cognitive processes, linguistic and communication, cultural, entrepreneurial, and personal development.

Discipline-specific modules focus on developing your knowledge of Aerospace Avionics while specialisation-specific modules are designed to deepen your understanding of the specific area within Aerospace Avionics that you have chosen to pursue.

Freely Chosen Modules

Lastly, one of the thirty modules you will take in total can be freely chosen from the entire range of modules offered at the Republic Polytechnic.
