Description

The Bachelor of Urban and Regional Planning Honours is a postgraduate specialisation degree that aims at consolidating and deepening the knowledge and skills of students in the main cognate areas of learning and capacitate them to conduct applied research. It builds upon the outcomes of the Bachelor’s degree in the same subject fields/cognate area of learning.

Admission Requirements

Applicants may be admitted to this programme if they have a Bachelor of Town and Regional Planning degree (NQF Level 7) from NUST.

Applicants with an equivalent, relevant qualification at NQF Level 7, worth at least 360 credits, from other recognised tertiary education institutions, will be evaluated in terms of the minimum core competencies of urban and regional planning imbedded in their curricula – moral and ethical dimensions of planning; demonstrating theoretical and contextual dimensions; linking knowledge of spatial plans and policies; linking theory and practise of integrated development; executing academic research; and demonstrating effective managerial and communication skills. Such applicants may be required to enroll for selected undergraduate courses if the Department deems it necessary to address critical gaps in the core competencies. These courses may be taken concurrently with the Bachelor of Urban and Regional Planning Honours programme.
