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, entrepreneurial skills and personal development, as well as equip you with the foundational knowledge of culture and technical communication.
Discipline-specific modules focus on developing your knowledge of the field of arts and its relevant technology, while Specialisation-specific modules are designed to deepen your understanding of the area which you have chosen to pursue.
Elective
Modules
Students pursuing the Diploma in Design for Interactivity are required to complete 1 elective module as prescribed in the course structure. Elective modules, where required, are designed to broaden your understanding of the hybrid discipline of technology for the arts.
Freely Chosen Modules
You also need to take 2 Freely Chosen Modules, besides the Core modules, to complement your knowledge acquired from other parts of your diploma programme. These Freely Chosen Modules may be picked from both the School of Technology for the Arts and other schools and centres of The Republic Polytechnic.
