Modules
Core
Modules
There are three types of Core modules: General, Discipline-specific and Specialisation-specific modules. General modules aim to help you prepare the ground for generic skills such as cognitive, linguistic and communication, cultural and entrepreneurial skills, as well as personal development.
Discipline-specific modules focus on developing your knowledge on Logistics and Supply Chain Management while Specialisation-specific modules are designed to deepen your understanding of the area within Supply Chain Management which you have chosen to pursue.
Elective Modules
You also need to take two elective modules besides the Core modules. Elective modules are designed to broaden your knowledge in the various supply chain verticals, and serve to complement your knowledge acquired from other parts of the programme.
Freely
Chosen Modules
Lastly, one of the thirty modules can be freely chosen from the entire range of modules offered at the Republic Polytechnic.
