Check if you qualify

BSc Planning is a degree in Social Sciences that focuses on the way human settlements, land use, and infrastructure are organised. At SD Dombo University, the programme sits within the Faculty of Planning and Land Management. This page explains what the field involves, how hard it is to get a place, and where graduates typically work.

What the study of planning involves

Planning programmes of this kind usually cover the theory and practice of shaping towns, cities, and rural areas. Students learn how to analyse population trends, land use, transport systems, and environmental pressures. The field draws on geography, economics, sociology, and public policy, and it builds skills in data analysis, map reading, and report writing.

How competitive entry is

Entry to BSc Planning at SD Dombo University is less competitive than at some other institutions. For comparison, programmes at KNUST and the University of Cape Coast are highly competitive, while several other Ghanaian universities also offer the course. The lower competition at SD Dombo may make it a more accessible option, but you should still check the specific entry requirements for your WASSCE results.

What planning graduates do

Graduates of planning degrees typically work in public institutions, private consultancies, and non-governmental organisations. Common roles include urban planner, regional planner, land use officer, and development control officer. Many focus on making cities and communities more sustainable, efficient, and equitable, and some later specialise in transport, housing, or environmental planning.
