The Bachelor of Science in Urban and Regional Planning at NWU Potchefstroom is a four-year professionally accredited degree that trains graduates to shape the spatial, social, and economic development of South Africa's cities, towns, and rural areas. Students develop expertise in spatial analysis, land use planning, environmental planning, housing, transportation, and GIS, with a deep understanding of South Africa's Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act (SPLUMA) and related legislation. South Africa faces profound urban planning challenges — including spatial apartheid legacies, informal settlement growth, and rapid urbanisation — making qualified planners essential to achieving the country's developmental goals. Graduates are eligible for professional registration with the South African Council for Planners (SACPLAN).
