BSC. PLANNING
About this programme
The BSc. Planning programme places considerable emphasis on the interdisciplinary character of planning at all scales and is designed to foster a broad-based foundation from which to understand and approach the different aspects of planning practice. The programme has a counter-balancing weight of practical training which enables students to develop a critical awareness of the social, economic, spatial and management issues underpinning socio-economic change, as well as provide operational skills set pertinent to working in the public, private or community domains. The programme is designed to provide interdisciplinary experience in planning and to serve as a bridge between disciplinary specialisations in some aspects of planning. This programme is thus crucial to strengthening the capacities of government departments and private entities in the areas of planning, resource mobilization and environmental sustainability.
