Diploma in Game Design
Graduation Criteria
To graduate with a Diploma in
Game Design, you must satisfy the modular criteria set by the School of Technology for the Arts.
Students should be able to do this within three years of enrolment, if they successfully complete five modules, or its equivalent, per semester.
How
the Modular Structure Works
Modules at RP fall into three broad categories: as can be seen from the course structure. 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 are summarised in the following table:

Core
Modules
There are 3
types of Core modules: General, Discipline-specific
and Specialization-specific 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 the field of arts
and its relevant technology while
Specialization-specific modules are designed to
deepen your understanding of design and innovation
which you have chosen to pursue.
Elective
Modules
Students
pursuing the Diploma in Design for Interactivity are
required to complete ONE (1) Elective module as
prescribed in the course structure. Elective
modules, where required, are designed to broaden
understanding of the hybrid discipline of technology
for the arts.
Freely Chosen Modules
Apart from Core
modules, you also need to take TWO (2) Freely Chosen
Modules to complement knowledge acquired in other
parts of your own diploma programme. This Freely
Chosen Module may be any one of a wide range of
modules offered both in the School of Technology for
the Arts and by the other schools and centres of The
Republic.
