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 those in cognitive, linguistic and communication, cultural, entrepreneurial and personal development skills.
Discipline-specific modules focus on developing your knowledge of Information Technology while specialisation-specific modules are designed to deepen your understanding of the specific area within IT Service Management which you have chosen to pursue.
Freely Chosen Modules
Lastly, one of the thirty modules can be freely chosen from the entire range of modules offered at the Republic Polytechnic.
