the Modular Structure Works
Modules at the Republic fall into four broad categories: as can be seen from Table 1 above, these consist of Core modules, Specialization modules, Electives 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 and Electives, and Specialization 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 methods of personal development.
Discipline-specific modules focus on developing your knowledge of Industrial
and Operations Management while Specialization modules and Electives are designed to deepen your understanding of the area within Industrial
and Operations Management 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.
