The Master of Urban Studies and Housing Management (formerly Master of Housing Management) is an interdisciplinary programme offered by the Department of Urban Planning and Design (DUPAD).
The MUS&HM degree programme has two streams of study, the Urban Studies Stream and the Housing Management (Professional) Stream. The Housing Management (Professional) Stream involves two years of part-time study or one whole year of full-time study. The Urban Studies Stream involves one whole year of full-time study. The two streams are differentiated by the amount of coursework required and professional accreditation received.
The MUS&HM-Housing Management (Professional) Stream was the first Master curriculum for training practising housing professionals in Hong Kong, which has been established for over 30 years. It is designed not only to upgrade the training and skills of practising housing professionals, but also to provide intellectual and professional training to those wishing to specialise in the housing area at postgraduate level. In addition to standard coursework, a special workshop on communication skills is offered.
The MUS&HM-Urban Studies Stream is designed to upgrade the intellectual capability and skills of students who have already completed their undergraduate studies from various backgrounds and are interested in contemporary urban and housing issues. This curriculum will provide interdisciplinary training to those wishing to specialise in the urban and housing areas at postgraduate level, through offering courses on the latest debates and methodologies pertinent to urban and housing studies.
The Department of Urban Planning and Design in the Faculty of Architecture is an excellent place to situate urban and housing management studies for several reasons. There are frequent academic lectures and research seminars by local and international experts on urban and housing related topics, and students gain access to experts in a variety of fields connected to urban studies and housing management. Additionally, it is the home base of the Asia Pacific Network for Housing Research (APNHR), a researchers’ association committed to the study of urban and housing issues in the Asia Pacific, which organises academic conferences on related topics.
