Diploma in Micro and Nanotechnology
Graduation Criteria
In order to graduate with a Diploma
in Micro and Nanotechnology, 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, 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
have been stated in Table 1 above as well as in the following table:

Core
Modules
There are 4 types of Core modules:
General, Discipline-specific , Specialization-specific
and Electives modules. General modules aim to ground you in generic
skills such as cognitive process, linguistic and
entrepreneurial skills, as well as equip you with
a foundational knowledge of culture, technical
communication and skills of personal development.
Discipline-specific modules focus on developing
your knowledge of Micro and Nanotechnology Engineering while
Specialization-specific modules are designed to
deepen your understanding of the area within Micro
& Nanotechnology
Engineering which 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. |
