## Description

Sol Plaatje University (SPU) is a public higher education institution in Kimberley, in South Africa’s Northern Cape, and the region’s sole public university. One of South Africa’s youngest universities, SPU provides undergraduate and postgraduate qualifications, alongside professional development opportunities designed to serve the needs and strengths of its community. Its academic programmes are organised across four faculties: Economic and Management Sciences, Education, Humanities, and Natural and Applied Sciences.

SPU describes itself as a niche university, focusing on areas of intellectual and regional importance that support South Africa’s development and connection to its heritage. Its areas of focus include teacher education, information and communications technology, data science, heritage studies, palaeosciences, and creative writing in African languages. The university also supports students through services and resources such as financial aid, a First Year Experience programme, a library, and student life activities.
