Diploma in Micro and Nanotechnology (R30)

Course Structure

To fulfil the requirements for the full-time diploma programme, students need to successfully complete a total of 30 modules. The course structure follows RP's typical diploma course structure of a year on foundation modules, followed by a second year on core discipline modules, and a third year on specialisation modules. The course structure is shown in the following table.
