Modules
There are General, Discipline-specific, and Specialisation-specific modules. General modules aim to help you prepare the ground for generic skills such as cognitive, linguistic and entrepreneurial skills, as well as equip you with the 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 Specialisation modules are designed to deepen your understanding of the area within Industrial and Operations Management which you have chosen to pursue.
Elective Module
You also need to take one elective module
(4 MC). Elective modules are designed to broaden your understanding of Industrial and Operations Management, and serve to complement your knowledge acquired from other parts of the programme.
Freely Chosen Module
Lastly, one (4 MC) of the thirty modules can be freely chosen from
a list of modules offered at the Republic Polytechnic.
