    The purpose of this dissertation is to demonstrate the potential contribution of spatial analysis using GIS on candidates who undergo the Alternative Admissions Research Project (AARP) tests for alternative admission to University of Cape Town (UCT). Spatial analysis may be useful in interrogating existing information on the geographical distribution of AARP candidates, in particular, those who are regarded as educationally disadvantaged as a result of apartheid policy and practices of the past. GIS techniques and tools were applied in order to assess accessibility of UCT AARP services provided to students nationally, and to demonstrate how GIS may be incorporated into the various academic faculties at UCT, particularly academic faculty recruitment planning.
