Thanks for the feeback.

My nephew is graduating from UiTM this year with a BArch and with current CGPA of 3.55. I encourage him to carry on the M.Arch (after the compulsory 6mth working time) at UTM in order to get a different flavor of architectural training and exposure, but he seems convinced that UiTM M.Arch program is more practical and more construction orientated.

Have you taught any UiTM B.Arch graduates in UTM M.Arch program? What are your frank views on those graduates?

What's the employability rate (locally employed) of UTM M.Arch graduates? Do big local architectural firms actively recruit UTM graduates?

thanks for the great feedback.

does UTM Arch have any plans to do any road shows in the near future?

Hi... I am STPM 2015 graduate. I hope to get architecture course in IPTA, but as I refer the list for LAM, I found tat a lot of expiry date is around the corner for many of the university.  Is there any IPTA that have LAM part I and II qualifications if for 2016 September intake? Or any suggestion for university?

Thanks for the reply ^^
I see... so as long as is accredited university,then need not to worry about the date for LAM.(as the university will offer the examination later when it renew?is that?@@)I notice that the expiry date for UTM is 2015 is that mean if pass the renewal process,the effective date will be on 2015?or the effective date will be 2017? If is 2017,then 2016 student do consider have the qualification of LAM not?

hi mr azarimy

im finishing my masters soon, do you have any information or thoughts about the implementation of BIM in construction industry especially from architecture firms in malaysia? should i get into it now..or it will be a waste of time because i dont really need it..?

thank you in advance.

yap, im aware of BIM is a system..and Revit is a tool..

yes, ive learned the basic of BIM during my undergrad and a little bit more now..but i dont think it is enough for real world industry..the reason why i asked because when i did my year out for two years..i never used it..and the firm is quite big..that is why i just wondering about that haha

Hi Sir,

This might be an unusual question but is there an architect who used to be an engineer and he/she designed and built bridges and was famous for it? I heard about it some time ago and I couldn't recall his name...

Does studying interior architecture needs to get recognition (like Part 1 Part 2?) same as studying Architecture?

ok, thanks! 
uhmm I didn't take art subject in SPM and I still can apply for the course right?
I'm going to apply scholarship for the course but I actually dk what to prepare for portfolio (I saw some of the universities stated that test/portfolio is needed if one didn't take Art subject in SPM)
So, I wonder what should I prepare/draw/include in my portfolio? (I have 0 experience  )

Hi, can I ask if I do a diploma programme, let's just say UTM space's diploma in architecture, am I still applicable to go abroad for my degree?

Thanks!!

Abit confused now
I'm going to be taking a levels and going abroad after. But the whole list of oversea accreditted universities  will be renewed in 2017, and I know some universities in the UK are kinda picky on what subject they prefer, some needing art+science+math and a good art portfolio, but problem here is most colleges dont offer Art as a subject in Malaysia. so I'm really paranoid on what subject i should take.

My question is
1.will most of the universities be removed from the list?
2. Also noted that most Australian and new zealand degrees only offer lam part 2, will there be a chance for their part 1 degrees to be included in the new list?
Or will I have to wait till 2017 to know the list @.@
3. Or would it be better to do a part 1 here first then go abroad for part 2? Is the Acceptance rate high this way?

Sorry for so much weird question I'm hella paranoid since I'll be the first to go abroad in my family if I follow this path
Thanks!!

Hi Mr. Azarimy,

I just applied my application via UPU, my category is under post-diploma. Just want to ask, working experience or SPM result, which one is carrying more weight?

Hi there,

I applied to UTMspace's diploma in architecture, if I manage to enter, is there a higher chance for me to enter UTM for my part 1 degree, compared if I went to a premier polytechnic?

I forgot where I read it, but I saw that if you studied your diploma in archi there you'd have a higher chance to enter UTM,, or is that outdated info? I remember reading something along the lines as this.

Dear Mr. Azarimy,

Thank you for posting up the guides.

Architecture has always been a dream of mine. I was denied from pursuing that dream by my parents when I was 17, and was forced to take a course that was not to my interest (engineering).

Now that I have worked for a few years and saved up some money, I am looking to rekindle my passion in architecture. I have no STPM certificate, only SPM, a foundation in Engineering Studies and a Bachelor in Mechanical Engineering.

What is the best route for me to enroll in an architecture course?

Thank you.

Hi again Mr. Azarimy,

Is it possible to know when is the interview for Bachelor of Science in Architecture this year for UTM? And when will we get notified if we are selected for interview?

Hi Mr. Azarimy,

In response to Teru, you mentioned that he can also pursue architecture as part time. Is this still valid?

Same as Teru, I also had gone into Engineering path while I'm passionate about architecture. Was trying since 2012 communicating with UTMSpace and keep checking their website waiting for them to re-offer part time architecture course.

Btw Mr. Azarimy,

Some of the images are not visible?

You dont know how happy I am to hear this ! Thank you so much !
Btw, who do you mean by 'we'?

Hello Mr.Azarimy

It's April now so I guess the chance for me to get scholarship to study diploma in architectuaral studies is quite low. So I decided to go for Form 6, I was a science stream student back then but I'm going for Art Sream in F6. (I don't think I can cope with Science subjects in F6 bcuz I didn't perform well in F4 & F5)

I wonder does studying architecture needs Science subjects? (as far as I know Maths subject is compulsory right?) Thanks~

Hello mr. azarimy.

I am currently in my final semester would be graduate with a BSc in Arch soon with a Part 2. If I were to continue my studies into UTM, which has more weight on Portfolios, or Working Experience or CGPA? And of course, any some of the prep I need to do before finishing my course (important things most students overlook like documents etcetera)?

Hi Sir ! It's me again.
Since the UPU permohonan has closed already, just wanna know.
If I'm lucky enough and get chosen to the interview, agak when is the interview ?
agak when can I receive the sms ?
and last question.
In these few weeks. The portfolio of mine has only 10 plus drawing/painting in it.
Do you think its ok ? Does the quantity really matters ?

Hi mr azarimy,

I have graduated from my part 1 and have been working for about a year (this will be my second year in the job)

I'm looking to further my part 2 sometime next year and If possible I'd like to go abroad for that. I'm looking at schools like tu delft (Netherlands) and Bartlett (ucl)

I'm leaning more towards Delft at the moment and I was wondering if anyone in your circle have ever pursued a postgraduate in any of these schools? What are the admission rate like? I do know that these school especially Bartlett are tough to get in but as I am weighing my options right now do you think it's worth it (let's say I am able to go there) to study at these schools? In terms of education quality as well as the experience.
