Core
Modules
There are 3 types of
Core modules: General, Discipline-specific and
Specialisation-specific modules.
General modules help
build your generic skills in cognitive processes,
linguistic and communication, cultural,
entrepreneurial, and personal development.
Discipline-specific modules focus on developing your
knowledge in Technology for the Arts, while
Specialisation-specific modules are designed to
deepen your understanding of the specific path
within Technology & Arts Management that you choose
to pursue.
Elective Modules
Students
pursuing the Diploma in Technology and Arts
Management 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.
