Diploma in Biomedical Electronics
(R15)
Graduation Criteria
To graduate with a Diploma in Biomedical Electronics Engineering, you must satisfy the modular criteria set by the School of Engineering. Most students should be able to do this within 3 years of enrolment if they are deemed to have successfully completed 5 modules, or its equivalent, per semester.
How
the Modular Structure Works
Modules at the Republic Polytechnic fall into three broad categories, as can be seen from Table 1 above. They consist of Core modules, Electives modules and Freely Chosen modules. To satisfy the requirements of the Diploma programme, you must choose a specified number of modules from selected categories. These have been stated in Table 1 above as well as in the following table:

Core
Modules
There are 3 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 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 Biomedical Electronics while Specialisation-specific modules are designed to deepen your understanding of a specialised area within Biomedical Electronics.
Elective Modules
You also need to take one elective module besides the Core modules. Elective modules are designed to broaden your understanding of Biomedical Electronics and serve to complement your knowledge acquired from other parts of the programme.
Freely
Chosen Modules
Lastly, two of the thirty modules can be freely chosen from the entire range of modules offered at the Republic Polytechnic.
