Sol Plaatje University

As the region’s sole public Higher Education Institution, Sol Plaatje University (SPU) is committed to providing quality education and professional development opportunities that cater to the unique needs, competence, and characteristics of its community. Positioning itself as a niche university, SPU offers academic programmes of high intellectual nature in fields that align with the South African thrust to develop a nation that is proud of its heritage and roots. To this end, the university has honed its focus on areas such as teacher education, ICT and data science, heritage studies, paleo-sciences, and creative writing in African languages.
