Land is Hong Kong's most valuable commodity, making effective land planning and development a major concern across various sectors. As one of Hong Kong’s four pillar industries, the surveying profession plays an indispensable role in land development. Over the next 20-30 years, Hong Kong and other Greater Bay Area cities will undergo large-scale urban and infrastructure developments, driving a strong demand for interdisciplinary talent to make planning and development processes faster, smarter, healthier, and more sustainable.

The Bachelor of Science in Surveying [BSc(Surv)], offered by the Department of Real Estate and Construction, The University of Hong Kong (HKU), has a long-standing reputation as the world’s first integrated surveying programme. Currently accredited by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveying (HKIS) for five disciplines – General Practice, Quantity Surveying, Building Surveying, Planning and Development, and Property & Facility Management, the programme will also receive accreditation for Land Surveying starting from the academic year 2025-26. This accreditation marks a significant milestone, positioning the BSc(Surv) programme as the world’s first and only surveying programme with full accreditation across six disciplines, establishing it as a global leader in integrated surveying education. This integrated programme offers comprehensive education which equips students with the skills to excel in the dynamic global real estate and construction markets.

Representatives from the HKU Department of Real Estate and Construction and HKIS will share insights into the programme’s interdisciplinary curriculum, unique opportunities, industry trends and professional pathways at the press conference.
