"ACP is informed by current international debates, research and publications – and offers students unique learning opportunities through its internationally-recognized staff and world-wide training opportunities.”

Conservation is now recognised worldwide as an important component of sustainable development, particularly in cities undergoing rapid development. There is increasing demand and scope

for research and practice in conservation as cities around the world recognise the need for more rigorous professional requirements based on international best practice specified in international charters and conventions. Coinciding with the emergence of built-heritage conservation as a distinct academic and professional field in Asia, ACP was first established in 2000 in the Faculty of Architecture as an academic unit offering two integrated, self-funded postgraduate programmes, the MSc(Conservation) and PDip(Conservation). The unit, then known as the “Architectural Conservation Programme” (abbreviated as ACP, which has since become a recognised brand name both locally and in the region), heralded the first conservation-dedicated postgraduate programme among all universities in China, and anticipated the development of the profession locally by being seven years ahead of Hong Kong’s Built Heritage Conservation Policy, which was announced and implemented in 2007. In 2012, to address and support the growing professional field, ACP expanded to include a UGC-funded undergraduate programme, the BA(Conservation), and a materials-based conservation laboratory for teaching and research, known as the Architectural Conservation Laboratory (ACLab). Most recently, in 2015, the expanded ACP became the Division of Architectural Conservation Programmes, maintaining its established, abbreviated brand name of “ACP.”

Today, ACP has become internationally recognised for its academic excellence through its active educational, professional practice and research collaborations with government agencies, inter-governmental organisations and professional institutes. It is also recognised as the driving force behind the education and professionalization of architectural conservation as well as the shaping of conservation policies in Hong Kong. This has been made possible through the dedicated core and adjunct teaching staff of ACP, who are well-known and experienced professionals in the field of architectural conservation. ACP also relies on, and benefits from, an extensive network of international and local experts in various areas of heritage conservation, including academics, practitioners and senior government officials involved in heritage conservation-related projects. As a result, students (whether undergraduate or at the graduate level) are exposed to, and learn from, the first-hand experience of professionals, who are able to share the latest thinking in the field and all of the associated challenges.
