Modular Structure

RP’s curriculum follows a modular framework, and students take modules in the following categories: General, Discipline, Specialisation, Elective, Freely chosen modules and Industry Orientation Programme.

  • General modules help develop flexible broad-based competencies such as cognitive skills, communication skills, knowledge of organisational behaviour, and other 21st century competencies.

  • Discipline modules focus on the foundational underpinning of a chosen field of study by developing competencies and knowledge in the discipline.

  • Specialisation modules are designed for domain-specific training and to deepen the understanding of the chosen specialisation.

  • Elective modules are designed to complement the knowledge base and skills in the discipline.

  • Freely chosen modules allow students to pursue peripheral interests other than their chosen field of study.

  • Industry Orientation Programme, comprising Industry Immersion Programme, Project and Portfolio Development (for selected courses only), helps lay the foundation for industry readiness.
