Introduction
The Master of Science in Conservation equips graduates with the technical competencies and intellectual skills required to guide decision-making in conservation planning, management and design in the 21st century.
The programme emphasizes the integration of sustainability in conservation training, which enables graduates to address the growing risks and challenges to built heritage conservation, including climate change, disasters, and various pressures from urbanization, gentrification and tourism development. Through a combination of dedicated studios, seminar and elective courses, students will gain theoretical and practical insights into the latest policies, methodologies and best practices and apply their knowledge to real-life projects.
With its internationally recognized expertise in planning, architecture, landscape architecture and building construction with established connections to professional practice, the Faculty of Architecture at HKU provides an ideal interdisciplinary setting for educating well-rounded conservation professionals and future heritage leaders.
The programme is supported by the Built Heritage Research Collaborative (BHRC), a new research lab established within the HKUrban Labs with a mission to facilitate knowledge exchange and collaborative projects amongst heritage researchers across HKU and other academic and professional institutions.
