Hi I got myself stuck with translation of Malay language while choosing Architecture program.

For Architecture, is it "Senibina, Perancangan Dan Ukur" or "Seni Lukis Dan Seni Reka"?

Cause "Kejuruteraan" is engineering right?

EDIT: For the Path 1 of your "4.0. Common Paths to Studying Architecture", does the Foundation means the foundation offered by the certain university? Cause I recently found that IPTA actually offers Foundation program.

I'm not 100% sure, but I do think this is what it means:

Seni Bina - Architecture
Perancangan dan ukur - Planning and Surveying/Measuring
Seni Lukis - Illustration
Seni Reka - Design

If Seni Lukis & Seni Reka in 1 sentence then it means - Arts & Design

that's spot on.

and to answer the new question, yes, it means university specific foundation programme. some IPTAs have started to offer foundation programmes, but i've not seen anyone successfully applied to an IPTA using a foundation from a different one. meaning UIAM's foundation is only valid for studies in UIAM, UM's for UM, UiTM for UiTM and so on.

1. yes, it's genuinely from UTM. the examination papers are graded by UTM lecturers themselves. shahputra teach, we grade.

2. yes.

Thanks for solution, now going to search for the BSN and PTPTN related thread in the forum ASAP since 4th April is the last date for July intake so I've to make it fast.

Just wondering that if I can take my Diploma in university like Laila (I'm a Sarawakian and they provide 'free' or I should rather say a cheaper cost to obtain Diploma for Sarawakians) and then I transfer myself to peninsular for LAM-recognized IPTA like UiTM would affect my further study to Bachelor position since LAM don't recognize Laila (Or do they?).

yes. but it is also built environment and design. it depends on how a university would categorize them. u can see that some schools award a BSc in Architecture, others give a BA in architecture. still the same thing wink.gif.

LAM do not recognize diploma from laila taib. actually LAM do not recognize ANY diploma from anywhere except the old, discontinued ITM diploma (part 1). but that doesnt mean u cant apply. u still can, but it is up to the target university to determine where u should join: 1st year or 2nd year. the decision will be based on the credit transfer amount and ur portfolio.

yes, unless u're from UTM diploma (KL). UTM interviews everyone bcoz of the sheer number applying each year.

IPTAs only recognize A-levels for foreign students, with the exception of UIAM. if u're local but did A-levels, ur only option now is to join IPTS.

okay enough with the caps. your keyboard broken or something?

if shahputra to UTM, u will join at 2nd year unless u score a whole bunch of subjects.

this weekend (saturday and sunday) is UTM open day. come drop by in skudai and i'll give u a tour about how to land a place here. that goes to all of u interested in UTM's architecture.

I scored average ''bad'' in SPM but manage to get 5 credits in BM, English, Sej, P.Islam, and Maths. Any chances for me to go for architectural foundation in UTM or any other uni?

Add Ons : I went to UTM's website and checked out how to apply for Diploma in Architectural thru online and it stated there to go to UPU's website to apply. When I go to UPU website, there's no option for UTM's diploma in Architectural

UTM do not offer any foundation programmes. only UIAM and UM. do check the requirements at their respective websites wink.gif.

diploma in architecture, UTM is listed under the SPACE full-time programme, not under faculty of built environment. do check again.

You did recommend STPM as the best route to oversea Architecture, how about local? Cause I would prefer more experience exposure to Architecture (Diploma) than education (STPM).

Does replacing Diploma with STPM means I skipped a lot of Architecture basics when advancing to Bachelor through STPM path?

How's your opinion in this case since the government prefers STPM students nowadays.

i always recommend STPM above all else as it gives the widest option available for ur studies. it also is a good fallback should u decide architecture is NOT for u. architecture has the highest drop out rate, so it's always go to have a fallback option.

if u're talking about UTM, then it's not much of a difference between diploma and STPM. basically what u learned in 3 years diploma will be covered in the first 2 years of degree. yeah, it's a bit more compressed, but doesnt mean it's more hectic. but it is always up to u. the diploma gives u option to bail out after 3 years. taking the 5 year degree after STPM means u dont have any options should u wish to quit wink.gif.

I see, cause people are telling me that going for Laila then Bachelor in peninsular university may disrupt my path.

And since you said the basics would be covered in the early years so I may be taking a safer path which is STPM. smile.gif
