Diploma in Civil Aviation (R39)
Graduation Criteria
To graduate with a Diploma in Civil Aviation (DCA), 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, Elective 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 three 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 communication, cultural and entrepreneurial skills, as well as personal development.
Discipline-specific modules focus on developing your technical knowledge of Aviation. Specialisation-specific modules are designed to deepen your understanding of the area within Civil Aviation which you have chosen to pursue.
Freely
Chosen Modules
Lastly, one of the thirty modules can be freely chosen from the entire range of modules offered at the Republic Polytechnic.
