Hi Sir Azari,

I am a diploma holder and I applied to UTM as my first choice via UPU. I understand that the Sept. intake's interview is going on now. So I called UPU to check my application status, and the officer said that I'll have an interviews in UTM next week. But the fact that I haven't get any call or text from UPU or UTM is making me quite confusing.

I assumed that UTM will interview all the qualified candidates from UPU; or UTM will do another round of filtration?

I've tried to call the Intake Department, but seems like no one is picking up the phone. Can you help me with explaining how does these procedure works? Cause if the interview is held by next week, then I'll have to start preparing my interview by NOW.

Sorry for trouble and thanks.

Hi Mr Azarimy,

As per link below, I couldn't see BSc Arch being offered for Sept '16 intake.

Not this year either? 

Do you guys have any deadline for the final stage? I'm checking UTMSpace website every other day.

Thanks, Ill continue checking the website then.

Hi Mr. Azarimy

I'm wondering if the interview calling has ended for every category? Im applying degree in architecture from UTM with my diploma.

Hi, not sure whether i can ask here, im in b.arch second yr, doing a video for a subject called computer applications, so im trying to use lumion, but when i import my 3d building and place on the terrain, but it always appear in the sky, even i trie changing height in lumion, it has a limit of the height displacement which is still in the sky. hopefully any seniors here are able to help out, thanks

Would like to check if i am taking part  3 exam next year and right now thinking of changing job,  can i venture into developer company and work as their in house architect? Got an offer and was told that all design and drawings are solely done by the in house  architect. Im not sure if it would affect the part 3 exam as it requires all architects who are going for part 3 exam to work for 2 years under an archi firm.

Sir , bachelor of science in architecture of UTM is actually in KL or Johor ?

Hello.

I am finishing my Part 1 Bachelor Degree in Architecture soon.

My lecturer commended me on having quite good on design theory and developing concept statements. However he did gave me an advice that Malaysian's field of study on architecture are more focused on the technical side, compared to the ones abroad which pushes more on the design concepts. I know that LAM no longer accredits Part 2 RIBA courses, but he did say I am more geared to UK school of thought based on how I did my project and possibly faces challenge if I study locally (or even practice).

I would like to ask, is Malaysian architecture industry isn't really that interested in new concepts and ideas? Rather design another building (based on existing ones), only the cladding/skin and facade is "designed" to give meaning instead of utilising whatever we studied. It's unlike how I've seen and read about other international firms do their design development especially on competitions.

I don't know. My strength isn't there because I loathe this situation as I have experienced in my practical training. I didn't doubt about my ability to delve deeper in architecture, but the expectation of the industry to accept me specifically in local context.

I am still learning who knows nothing much and just only got the gist of architecture, but I'm really worried about my career path. I think I'm ill suited to continue for my Masters/Part 2 

But I have seldom seen any architect driving less than a Mercedes Benz in Msia.

Hi Mr Aza, may i know when is the intake of UTM Part 2 this year?
I'm graduated from UM Part 1 in year 2013, and have been working in Singapore for 3 years, I would like to go back to finish my Part 2.

thank you. What are the main criteria they are looking for the Part 2 Candidate in UTM? As in the working experience aspect?

Dear Mr.Aza,

I am a Part I architect which have been working in an architecture firm 2.5years, and now looking to further my studies for Master Architecture (Part II).

I am applying for USM, UPM and UKM. I know 3 of these Uni the Master Part II r not accredited by LAM, I wondering why since UKM have stated their Part II by Year 2005,  but they still can't get the accreditation by LAM Part II until now? While Taylor's just started the Part II on Year 2013, and now they got the accreditation by LAM. Could Mr.Aza enlighten me the problem? Thank You.

Mr.Aza, thanks for your replied. I am according to the UKM official website, the introduction of department of architecture. This is why i curious about their accreditation for part II.

By the way, is Mr.Aza know is there a min. students required to start a course? and any min. numbers of student required to call for accreditation from LAM during the final semester? TQ.

Hi Mr. Azari, UPU result came out today at 12pm noon.
It gave me UTM- kejuruteraan awam which is my 2nd choice.
What can I do to maybe re-appeal to get my first choice UTM - architecture ?

Agak how long does it take to know whether rayuan success or not ?

So happy to get in utm architecture course ... Can't wait for that

Congrats ! Ivy Beh
Btw, Mr Azari. I think this year got new rule.
Those who get a place in Universiti Awam are not allowed to rayuan.
No hope anymore I guess ? :')
