The Bachelor's Programme in Urban and Regional Planning (SPP) gives students both broad and deep knowledge of planning and its conditions. The programme is project-oriented and emphasis is placed on team work, report-writing and analyses.

The second year are elective courses (inclunging one compulsory semester in economics or statistics) in archaeology, earth science, economic history, economics, environmental management, ethnology, human geography, political science, sociology, statistics or urban and regional planning, and optional courses.
