HKU SPACE Architectural Studies
The construction sector is one of the driving forces behind Hong Kong's economy. The future looks even brighter for those who are eager to make their creative mark in this vibrant and expanding market. Emerging opportunities in architectural conservation, sustainable development, urban renewal, building maintenance and most importantly, the blooming construction industry in China will, undoubtedly, open up new prospects for local and non-local architectural career development.
The Architectural Studies Subject Group of HKU SPACE offers architectural education both in the Higher Diploma level - Professional Diploma in Architectural Studies (PDAS) and in the Top-up degree level Bachelor of Applied Science (Architectural Science) (Final Year Only), as well as a Postgraduate Diploma in Cultural Heritage Management.

Professional Diploma in Architectural Studies (PDAS)
This programme is designed to give students the essential knowledge and skills related to design, building technology and professional practice. As a pre-professional graduate, students will be capable of playing a supporting role in the building industry and other allied professions, and of proceeding to further study in other related fields in the building disciplines. The curriculum is designed to encourage independent thinking and to give students a balance of foundational knowledge and skills.

This Top-up Programme is held in joint collaboration with the Curtin University in Australia and began its first in-take in September 2005.
Students who hold the HKU SPACE Professional Diploma in Architectural Studies (PDAS) or equivalent qualifications can pursue this programme leading to a Curtin University award in Hong Kong and upon successful completion, will be eligible for entry to this Programme.

Part-time mode- 2 Years (4 semesters), and;
Full-time mode- 1 Year (2 semesters).
Postgraduate Diploma in Cultural Heritage Management(CHM)
From the time that the Postgraduate Diploma in Cultural Heritage Management was launched in early 2005, it was already recognised that Asia’s rich and diverse cultural heritage resources deserve much higher attention and care from society. These are increasingly under threat from rapid development, urbanisation, environmental degradation, insensitive tourism and vandalism.
Global trends already expand the concept of Cultural Heritage to beyond the conventional limits of historic monumental architecture and artefacts, but to embrace vernacular environment, movable objects and intangible resources. These resources embrace both tangible resources like built heritage, artistic products, historic artefacts, and cultural landscapes, and also intangible resources like customs, beliefs, rituals, languages, art-forms, craftsmanship’s and practices.
With a growing awareness of these threats to the unique cultural heritage spectrum of this region, better management of cultural heritage resources is being seen as vital for its successful protection.
The HKU SPACE Postgraduate Diploma in Cultural Heritage Management takes a broad embracing view of cultural heritage management and addresses the specific issues and problems of Asia. The Programme, through a series of Specialist Topics Orientated Modules, systematically explores current and emerging issues related to understanding and managing Asia’s cultural heritage resources. Teaching and learning activities consist of lectures, discussions, workshops and field studies.
SHORT COURSES
A number of short courses are offered for practicing professionals, students considering an academic path in architecture, and those with an interest in learning more about the built environment.
Professional Practice courses are for those in the industry who seek to improve job-related skills or expand their technical knowledge of specific aspects of the field of architecture.Courses on Analyzing Architecture take a broader view of trends in architecture and conservation in Asia and are open to anyone with an interest in broadening their understanding of the build environment.
Other short courses are suitable for both practicing professionals and the general public with an interest in current trends in the fields of architectural design, conservation, history and sustainability.
