[長文] 關於建築系

wishyouwerehere

係到見到有家長問關於建築系既野 心血來潮想打番篇介紹文等第時放榜/有意想讀既學生睇下
我就係讀緊香港某大學既建築系(architecture, 簡稱archi) 唔開名啦因為香港得hku同cuhk係有建築師學會認可既architecture program所以驚俾人認到係邊個:p
大學既undergrad建築系:
hku: bachelor of arts (architectural studies) (港大人稱BAAS)
屬於hku faculty of architecture, BAAS 係department of architecture入面
留意番港大archi係BA黎但唔代表佢係文學院
cuhk: bachelor of social science (architectural studies) (簡稱BSSc AS)
屬於cuhk faculty of social science, BSSc(AS)係School of Architecture入面

點入archi?

hku: jupas: 自己睇admission grades, archi係港大入面都算係收得ok高
hku archi有interview 應該係dse放榜之後, 個人interview來的, 要有portfolio
portfolio內容大概就係自己d artistic/design work詳情睇：http://www.arch.hku.hk/programme ... studies/admissions/
例如有讀visual art既就可以放下d作品 中學有做開design (poster/booklet)個d
non-jupas: gce al/ib都得 non-ju應該係睇重portfolio多 judge完portfo先俾conditional offer你 (e.g. gceal要有abb/bbb ib 38分+ etc....人人唔同的)
jupas既portfolio deadline：2015年6月3日

cuhk: jupas: 中大archi近年已經收得好高..係社科院最高既一科
更改：jupas同non-jupas一樣要portfolio + 有interview
詳情睇：http://www.arch.cuhk.edu.hk/downloads/guidelines.pdfjupas既portfolio deadline係2015年5月31日
詳情睇：http://www.arch.cuhk.edu.hk/v1/index.php/degrees/bssc

讀d乜?

archi係一門 重 設 計 既科目  設 計  設 計  設 計 因為好重要所以要講三次
太多人誤會左archi做civil engineering 完完全全係兩樣野來的
我地讀既係大量關於空間/建築物/環境/site/artistic&technical expression等等
而唔係計數
archi係studio-based learning, 每一個學期studio design course係"大佬", 例如要係香港某某地區起一個community centre 有主題 要跟tutor 要出大量作品(圖/模型) 令archi學生無覺好訓既就係studio (同時令咁多人想讀archi亦都係studio) 因為studio好重要 (佔既credit係其他course既2倍) 而且tutor會每星期追住你既進度 所以基本上archi同學仔係好勤力日日留係studio做做做畫畫畫.....sem尾我地會有個final review就係將final design & process show俾prof/出面既architect/prof crit (批評)你

所以archi人要有: art sense/design sense/presentable/language skills (香港archi school是全英文教/學/present 還有好多外國professor)/仲要面皮厚俾tutor鬧完自己既作品都頂得住

仲有其他course 例如visual communication (學畫圖/graphics as presentation tools) 電腦design, 比較scientific d既building technology (好皮毛的structure和building engineering), 建築history & theory, 建築條列...etc 所以architect每樣野都要識少少 當然design最重要啦 (讀書個陣)

講到呢到仲想讀? 好野! 咁同你講下career path

想係香港做到registered architect? 條路係:
4年 Undergrad archi grad (HKU BAAS/CUHK BSScAS)-> 1 year of working experience -> 2年HKU/CUHK Master of Architecture->1-2 working experience->HKIA考牌試(共9張paper)->註冊建築師

單係讀書就已經要7年 (undergrad+master) 所以呢 無passion真係唔好隨便入黎讀
architect係一個專業 如果你淨睇錢既話 都搵得ok既 undergrad出黎大概17k-20k都有, master grad大概30k, 但比 archi 搵 得 多 錢 既 科 有 好 多, 所以唔好覺得architect係專業人士/搵得多$而雙眼發光考入黎 你要真 心 鐘 意 design 先 好 讀

好啦好似講得有d遠 講番入學 如果你小朋友仲係好想讀
assume你係香港讀中學經jupas上黎, 咁應該dse讀咩好?
係無特別requirements的 文理商科都得 有人話讀va比較好
我就話你讀得好grade就有用 dse va考得個3/4 有乜用? 仲要哂時間整sba portfo
數學要ok, math好成個人都會logical d, m1/2 如果你本身數學好的話就讀啦 唔好就focus on數學就ok
講多次undergrad同math有關係既都係得1-2科 而且都係好簡單既數 如果有讀physics有少少少少著數
我就讀文科既 只要努力讀就無問題

點揀cu定hku?

老實講 兩間都係hkia認可 兩間畢業生都可以考到牌 所以基本上係無乜分別的係認可資格呢個point
得閒既可以5/6月去兩間大學既grad show睇下
(以下講緊master level既分別)
hku比較岩artistic既同學讀 佢地既design會較多free-form野
cuhk學生偏向social-science d 好多thesis topic都係關社會議題事
undergrad來講 其實都係睇番你岩邊間大學既culture多d

如果去外國讀呢?

英國: University College London (UCL) Bartlett School of Architecture &
Architectural Association School of Architecture
呢兩間係全英國/全世界最top既archi school, 有undergrad archi讀
Bath/Manchester/Nottingham/Cambridge呢D都係好好既archi school
美國: undergrad係讀5年的 因為美國system係讀完5年undergrad archi就可以考牌
master係讀3年 instead of香港/英國既2年 因為佢地會收埋undergrad唔係讀archi既學生 重頭黎過

打左好多野 重點都係 如果有成績亦有passion的話 就歡迎你加入architecture呢個世界啦!

as far as I know, and according to the information on the HKIA website, graduates from HKU / CUHK Master of Architecture do not enjoy any exemptions of the 8 papers and the profession interview. MArch is a basic educational requirement for the professional assessment.

If you are graduates of overseas universities (given that it is accredited by HKIA), you can take the 8 papers+interview route to become a registered architect.

If your school is NOT accredited by HKIA, you need to pay extra money to ask HKIA to assess your degree and if HKIA approve your degree, you can still follow the 8 papers + interview route and become registered architect in HK.

If you are already a registered architect overseas and have a certain years of practices, you can first consult HKIA and they will discuss if you are qualified enough, if they approve, you can directly take the professional interview and skip the 8 papers to become a registered architect here in HK.

exactly. HKU / CUHK Master of Architecture is all you need for taking HKIA professional exams for registration.

http://fac.arch.hku.hk/arch/march/admissions/

check these out for admission details. it's the best that your 1st degree is RIBA-validated part 1.

Ben2004

To become an architect registered in HKIA, there is a professional assessment with 8 written papers and professional interview as stated by HKIA.   

However, is it depended on which university master program you taken (other than CUHK and HKU like mainland or oversea accredicted program) to determine how many exam papers needed?   If so, may I know how many papers can be exempted out of these 8 papers if the applicant is graduated from Accredicted Master program from either CUHK or HKU?

there are a number of city degree grads getting MArch offers and as far as I know ...

邏有些少問題想確認吓⋯⋯你意思是就算個first degree不是HK1A所承認，只要最後入返HKU or CU master 將來仍可去考牌
我有冇理解錯呢？

嘩 ! 我朋友真係冇講錯, 5am仲係 studio博殺, , 真犀利.
佢話有位女仕, 三十多歲, 未婚, 工作狂熱, 去年剛剛自己開檔, 祝師兄亦如她一樣, 將來開啓人生個人事業.
「天將降大任於斯人也，必先苦其心志，勞其筋骨，餓其體膚，空乏其身，行拂亂其所為，所以動心忍性，增益其所不能。」師兄努力 ! 將來有機會再請教.

check this out for the career stuff.

undergrad urban studies are new to both HKU & CUHK. It is not a professional degree to being a urban planner, to my understanding, my friends in urban studies are basically taking a few courses about urban design/planning, then a lot other courses from other departments like sociology/politics/geography/anthropology/cultural studies, as long as the things in the courses are related to the concept of CITY/URBAN, it's about urban studies....

I don't know about the admission score as I'm too old for this...I bet everything in HKU requires higher grades in public exams than CUHK?? thats not necessarily relevant to the quality of teaching, go check out more in the upcoming info days.

No. HKU & CityU & PolyU Surveying all have different specialties in surveying. Go to the info day and ask...info about surveying in HK are all over the web. Surveyors are professional (i.e. they take registration exams which are enlisted in the law of HK) and there are different types of surveyors so don't worry about jobs, worry about if you can go all the way through from university to the professional exams and practice. all the best.

謝謝樓主答覆。

我個女心裡已開始盤算如何做prof, 只是未有時間動手做。我會提佢將idea 寫下，記錄過程。
謝謝你。

小兒對城市規劃頗有興趣，有意來年入讀BAUS (HKU), 再修讀Master in UP (HKU),。規劃師行頭是否很窄，前境與收入如何(Govt Vs Private Sector)。
中大都有呢科，但收生嘅DSE 分數比HKU 低好多，兩者(HKU & CU)有如何分別？

laumummy

謝謝你分享建築系, 請問以上提到surveying 要小心可否給些提點？
小兒今屆HKDSE想報HKU Surveying, 三間U都有此科，是否將來就業比較難呢？
