Master of Architecture (Design) The University of Hong Kong

The Master of Architecture (Design) (MArch (Design) is a three-year full-time programme offered by the Department of Architecture.

The 3-year MArch(Design) operates on a self-funding model.

The accreditation of the three-year Master of Architecture degree is pending for approval. Through a multidisciplinary curriculum emphasising current design and production technologies alongside an understanding of the historical and theoretical culture of architecture, the programme enables students to acquire broad the expertise, skills and knowledge to confront the complexities of contemporary architectural discourse, design and practice.
