Some job roles are too specific. Let's say if you work as a design architect only, you could hardly deal with site and contractual issues like a project architect. Thus, the experience you gain is not "all-rounded" enough to sit for exam. You are lacking of project management skill. The only thing you can do is to change company.

You could inform the management that you need a wider scope for your job in order to gain better experience to continue to part 2. Most firms would be more than willing to accommodate, but some don't. Careful with those that don't. This is a typical sign where they want you to be where you are: a low wage worker for as long as they can. Not giving an opportunity to advance is a tell-tale sign of a bad employer. More the reason to change company.

Hello, I'm science-streamed STPM leaver with cgpa 3.08. I just received my upu offer and I gotten from UUM for bachelor of media technology with honours. However, my interest lies somewhere in architecture field.

Before that, i put bachelor of science architecture at UTM as my 1st choice followed by USM AND UKM as  I also interested in their architecture courses. UUM is actually my 6th choice since i dont know what to pick anymore. I also gotten into interview from UTM faculty of built environment and survey and submitted videos of my intro, assignmets and portfolios on June.

So is there anyway I change my programme into architecture? I know that rayuan choice is out of table since i got offer from UUM.

Is there anymore where i can get into public uni for architecture fields. Do i have to wait for any vacancy seats in the list ?

Any guidances and advices are very appreciated.Thank you

UTM has a path called IDP (International Degree Programme). Basically this is a path for international students, but the seats aren't usually filled every year. So the uni will open the vacant seats to local students.

These seats are less popular amongst Malaysians because the fee is higher (RM5.4k per sem). But it is available, so you can use it. There's nothing special or additional when you take this path, as you will experience the exact same thing in terms of teaching and learning with all other students. The only advantage is you could circumvent the UPU selection process.

Alternatively, you can opt for IPTS. I believe the fees are much higher than that.

What is the average starting pay for fresh architect grads in Malaysia?
*
Nowadays, part 2 should start at around 2.5k, in big cities like KL should be around 2.8k. Mainly because of the pandemic.

Wow. So low.

Before the pandemic, I can safely say around RM3k. But when pandemic hits, projects got halted, a lot of people been retrenched, yet schools still producing graduates. So there's more supply than demand right now.

That's great! Should stay there for now, because we're not even at the recovery phase yet.

Good to know that this industry is normalising from the pandemic.  thumbup.gif

Yup, the industry seems to be returning back to normal, although the economy seems to be down at the moment particularly due to poor ringgit.

Interestingly, a number of my friends who've been doing design projects (focusing on design, not necessarily building it) have been getting lots of overseas offers. So because of weakening ringgit, other countries with stronger currency can afford paying Msian companies to design for them.

Hello, I want to pursue architecture in UTM. Looking at my options, UTM's foundation program is where I'm likely headed towards.

SPM - appy for UTM foundation - degree

Does this pathway work? Searched UTM Space's website and there seems to be no mention of what degree I can take after foundation, quite puzzled :/
*
Hi. In general, UTM foundation is geared for all degree programmes in UTM. So yes, it is a viable path to study architecture in UTM.

As a result most of our so called professional architects are exam orientated and lacks experience and basic knowledge in architecture, they treat the PAM part 3 exam like any other exams, studied hard memorizing answers etc and when they passed the exam able to sign off plans for money ..that's all.. No Quality at all ..and since we are closed market, no foreign architects can come and practice here there is no competition ..

Have you taken the LAM part 3 exam?

What happened to Prof azarimy? This thread has been quiet for a year!

Budak2 semua main tiktok. Which I don't use lol.

So I've been sharing on Facebook mainly. I find it easier to convince the parents to let their kids take architecture than the kids themselves.

I'm also active on Twitter, but mainly trolling people.
