For details about the curriculum structure of the programme, please visit the ‘Undergraduate Catalogue’.

Our Target

We aim to provide a basis for continuing professional development and encourage professional specialisation and higher academic study, particularly for those with an Associate Degree or Higher Diploma in Architectural studies looking for articulation with a corresponding full-time Bachelor degree programme. This major 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.

Start Your Career Here

This major aims to provide students with a sound professional and technological foundation to pursue higher professional degree studies.

Given the fast pace of urbanisation in the Chinese mainland and the rest of Asia, millions of people will move to 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 for every 3,500 and on the mainland, an architect will serve more than 100,000 people on average. The number of architectural professionals in the Chinese mainland and throughout Asia is far from sufficient to meet the increasing social demand and expected growth as the economy improves and the property market recovers.

What You Will Be Studying

The courses in the curriculum are built around six themes:

  • Architectural Design
  • Communication
  • Environment
  • Technology
  • Social Studies and History
  • Professional Practice

The curriculum is structured around the Architectural Design studio sequence and supplemented by a broad spectrum of courses covering the subject areas.

The first two Architectural Design studios seek to strengthen your overall grasp of the field through courses on the development process of spatial ideas and an emphasis on building typology and urbanism, respectively.  The final year comprises a Final Year Design Research Project, which enables students to integrate their knowledge and skills acquired so far, into exploring a topic of interest selected by themselves, resulting in a related architectural proposition. This takes place under the supervision of an academic staff member.
