Founded in 1912, The University of Hong Kong is the leading and oldest tertiary institute in Hong Kong. The Department of Architecture was first introduced into the University in 1950 with the first five-year Degree of Bachelor of Architecture was awarded in 1955. Professional recognition of the degree was granted by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) in 1961 and joint visitations ran parallel with the Commonwealth Architects Association (CAA), the Architect’s Registration Council of the United Kingdom (ARCUK) and the Hong Kong Institute of Architects (HKIA).

The Department of Architecture educates students in an active culture of service, scholarship and invention. Uniquely situated at the crossroads of Chinese heritage and global influence, the Department takes the approach that design is best explored from a sophisticated understanding of both. Through a multidisciplinary curriculum emphasizing technology, history and culture students gain broad expertise in the management of the environmental, social, and aesthetic challenges of contemporary architectural design. Research programs at the graduate and postgraduate level offer students a unique opportunity to study the conditions of the contemporary city in the dense and active region of south China. Programs in architecture conservation, sustainable cities, rural construction, housing and architectural fabrication form a base for our research agenda. Through opportunities for international exchange, study travel, and community workshops, the Department of Architecture prepares graduates for participation in an international community of design experts at the highest level.

香港大学成立于1912年，它是香港顶级的和历史最悠久的高等教育机构。建筑学院最早于1950年引入香港大学，第一批五年制毕业的本科生于1955被授予学历。该学历于1961年获得了英国皇家建筑协会（RIBA），以及英联邦建筑协会（CAA)、英国建筑师注册局（ARCUK）以及香港建筑师协会（HKIA）对其专业性的认可。

建筑学院在一种活跃的服务、奖学金和创新的文化下教育学生。因为身处中国历史文化遗产和全球化影响的交叉路口这样的独特位置，建筑学院的教学方针是要求设计从对这两方面的综合理解入手。通过强调技术、历史和文化等多学科交叉的课程设置，学生可以获得当代建筑设计应对环境管理、社会学以及艺术方面挑战的广泛专业知识和技能。硕士和硕士后的研究项目给学生提供了一个探索高密度和高活跃度的当代中国南方城市的独特研究机会。建筑保护、可持续发展城市、郊区建设、住房及建筑制造等项目是我们日常研究的基础。通过国际交流、教学出访以及社区工作坊等方式，建筑学院使学生有机会参与最高水平的国际设计专家交流。
