This full-time degree programme is offered by the College of Science and Engineering with support from the Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering and the Division of Building Science and Technology. It seeks to provide a basis for continuing professional development and encourage professional specialisation and higher academic study, particularly for holders of an Associate Degree or Higher Diploma in architectural studies looking for articulation with a corresponding full-time Bachelor degree programme.
This programme is designed to prepare graduates for a multidisciplinary professional architectural practice by equipping them with a deep understanding of diverse architectural knowledge and a command of technology and integration that will enable them to serve the building industry as architects or other professionals. Graduates will become the driving force behind innovative and creative architectural designs that reflect a balance and integration of design and technology.
This programme aims to provide students with a sound professional and technological foundation to pursue higher professional degree study.
Given the fast pace of urbanisation in mainland China and the rest of Asia, millions of people will move to the cities in the coming decades. Constructing new towns and restoring old towns is an immense task. In developed countries, particularly the US, there is one architect for every 1,500 people. In Hong Kong, the number is one in every 3,500 and on the mainland, an architect will serve, on average, more than 100,000 people. The number of architectural professionals in mainland China and throughout Asia is far from enough to meet the increasing social demand and expected growth as the economy improves and the property market recovers.
To be eligible for admission, you must hold an associate degree or higher diploma in Architectural Studies or an equivalent qualification from a local or non-local recognised institution. An award of credit is normally required to ensure the academic standard of the programme.
Applicants may be required to attend an admission interview.
Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Architectural Studies graduates are eligible to apply for a Graduate Membership in the Hong Kong Institute of Architects (HKIA).
