The Bachelor of Social Science (Architecture) (BSSc(Arch)) programme is the first part of a two-degree sequence in professional architectural education. This sequence is designed to provide a basis for education in general and preparation for professional work as an architect in particular. Students are encouraged to enrich their core of studies in architecture by exploring lateral relationships with other subjects and disciplines as well as through independent study and experience of other cultures.

The core of studies consists of design in four studios in addition to courses in four subject areas. The studios are defined in terms of four primary themes: habitation, technics, tectonics, and urbanization.
Courses are offered in design, humanities, technology, and professional practice.

Applicants should normally have passed the Hong Kong Advanced Level Examination or have an equivalent qualification.
