may i know the minimum cgpa and design grade for part 2?

hi, i think i can help up with this

UTM, kl aka space utm is offering part time course for architecture

check out the website here, the registration is open up now.

http://www.utmspace.edu.my/portal/Permohon...x?contain=iklan

one and half day left i think, before the starting of my interview.

feeling nervous but quite happy. coz a lot of preparation have been done.

pray for me all. i hope things go smoothly^^

u have to check on that diploma's syllabus/curriculum. in our industry, certificates in building usually refers to construction (as in to become a builder or building contractors), not architecture. architecture courses must have the word "architecture" in it.

details on the interviews are on the first page. read the FAQs.

and refer to kuanming86's links for UTM SPACE.

3.00cgpa. design grades should be B and above.




after a whole day session of interviewing students, i have to say i'm a bit disappointed. with about 4.5k applying diploma of architecture in UTM, and after shortlisting 150 students, u'd expect to see cream of the cream. but it's far from that. there are a few gems, no doubt. but why come to the interviews if u cant even speak a word of english? this is architecture, and we teach 95% in english! how do u expect to do well if u dont even understand what i said? what a waste of time!

anyways, i saw a few of u who contacted me here. i dont know if u know who i am .

and finally, favourite question asked by students at the end of each interview:

"are you all lecturers?"

YES WE ARE. haha. only fulltime lecturers (with masters and above) are allowed to interview. one guy thought i was a clerk or something lol.

how about today interview? are there anyone who spark your interest?

i hope we can meet dear azarimy. not the little one(facebook profile picture) hee

strive hard for it!! UTM!

I'm in the afternoon session yesterday.
I guess you are the one who gave the short briefing at the beginning, sat in the middle (during interview)......
Am I right?
Please forgive me if I'm wrong. Haha~

yeah.

Hi i got some question to ask..

Utar and kliuc, do they recognize by LAM?
Can continue part 2 in these 2 college ?

neither is accredited by LAM.

the only IPTS offering part 2 equivalent degree is LUCT.

Added on April 16, 2011, 10:52 pmi'm disappointed with the interviews. although some candidates excel in all aspects (grades, koku, drawing/aptitude test, artistic skills and the face-to-face interviews), generally a lot of them were totally unprepared. they cant speak, let alone present themselves properly.

honestly, if u're not prepared, never researched about architecture, dont know why UTM is ur 1st choice, hardly ever asked anyone about the profession or dont even have a proper plan after diploma, dont bother coming for the interview!!! let others who're really interested, have researched thoroughly about the course, know what UTM is looking for and even have joined a firm as a clerk just to get a taste of the architecture world!

god i'm pissed.

Quality of our education going down the tubes...

nah, i still have faith.

it just a matter of finding the pearl. our standards are high this year. 4500 candidates, 30 places .

wow seems like very competitive for architecture..

so how was it? terkulat2 aku tengok. rasa nak tampar aje ko ni .

woah .

so lucky , one of my friend went for the interview . but too bad the interview didnt go as smooth as he hoped . he was not entirely prepared .

he mentioned that one of the interviewers was a foreign lecturer . and he cant keep up with the lecturer's english . lol . he didnt even know that the interview's gonna be in english . and he didnt know about buildings . -___-''

its also his fault , didnt search for information before attending the interview . just simply attend like that lol .
