Design Innovation
The Master of Architecture (MArch) programme at the CUHK School of Architecture is a place of experimentation, a platform for design innovation. The two-year programme accredited by HKIA and RIBA prepares students in advanced areas of research, design thinking and speculative spatial practices. Each studio is a yearlong opportunity to explore design agendas in depth. Our aim is to foster the next generation of leading architects, educated to be at the heart of social, urban and rural innovation to create solutions for environmental challenges, and equipped with technical, digital and design skills to make a real difference.
Our MArch programme also offers international study experiences through field trips, global studios and exchange opportunities. Apart from an exciting range of elective courses across related disciplines, our required courses cover subjects that include building technology, history and theory, and professional practice.
