IPD at UCT
The Institutional Planning Department (IPD) provides the required support services for the University of Cape Town and all associated stakeholders in accordance with the policies and plans of UCT.
This website has been produced to provide information about the department and the university set out in the following way:
The department
Much of the work of the IPD happens at a departmental level with the collaboration amongst the four units of the department, or co-ordinating departmental activities with other stakeholders. These include involvement in and/or responsibility and for the Environmental Scan, the Teaching and Learning Report, and the Social Responsiveness Report. Staff members of the IPD are also responsible for the servicing of various committees. In this section you will also find the profiles of the IPD staff.
The units
In addition to what is listed above, the distinct activities of the four units are dealt with in this section.
The APU assists in the processing of proposals for new programmes and ensures that our processes are responsive to local and national needs.
Institutional Information Unit
