1. did u apply through UPU earlier this year? if u didnt, then ur name will not be in the system for any appeals to be processed.

2. refer to the 1st post.

3. only UIAM and USM accepts A-levels. so there's a possibility, but only for those two IPTAs.

I didn't apply for UPU this year, but can I apply next year?

Would you recommend to get an accreditted degree in Taylor or UCSI and sit for the test independently? And maybe apply overseas for part 2?

What about the competition to get into UIAM and USM? Do their prefer stpm or matrik instead of A level?

yes u can. but remember SPM is only valid for 2 years if u want to use to apply to IPTA diplomas. after that u'd better go to A-levels or STPM.

IPTS architecture courses are not accredited by LAM. so please be careful and understand well what u're getting into. and yes, being unaccredited means u will have to sit for the test independently. and of course, u can apply for ur part 2 degree overseas.

as usual, any architecture courses are highly competitive. but i'm not sure of their preference between STPM, matrics or a-levels.

hi, aza, do u hv any info about degree archi study in Singapore??
wat is the estimate tuition fees normally?
is tat our malaysia recognize SG architecture certificate?

is it possible for art stream student (STPM) to study architecture?

TQ

well, i dont have much info other than what's already there in the internet. malaysia do not recognize singaporean schools despite being recognized by RIBA because singapore themselves do not have an architecture regulatory board. there are legal matters involved that i couldnt be bothered to list here. just take it for what it is .

but what u can do is, with the RIBA recognized degree, just sit for the LAM part 1 and 2 examination and get urself certified, no problem.

yes, very much so.

Hello azarimy.I'm taking form 6 (science stream) now and I wanted to be an architect as well. I have asked my school counselor but he said that to take architecture, I MUST take pendidikan seni in SPM or STPM. Well, I didnt take this subject during SPM and my current form 6 school didnt provide STPM seni. I have checked some of the uni online and most of them didnt say that pendidikan seni is a MUST to apply for architecture course. I can draw and won a few of drawing competitions before. So, I would like to ask you is it ok if I didnt take seni subject before and want to apply for this course? Just want to making sure. if not, I might choose other education pathway. Thank you very much.

They do have a regulatory body equivalent to LAM - http://boa.gov.sg/
Their setup and exams are pretty similar to LAM.
They have a wider list of accredited schools of architecture. Interestingly, the Malaysian schools are not recognized by BOA Singapore. Tit for tat?

Art is not a subject requirement for entry into most architecture schools.

u have no idea how much misinformation school guidance counselors gave out about architecture. during interviews, i met students who applied against the advice of his counselor, who convinced his parents that architecture requires A in physics.

no we dont. and neither do we require arts in SPM or STPM.

u must be good in arts/drawings to stand a good chance during the interviews, but then again, not all school interview. and not necessarily everyone during the interview that particular year is good in arts/drawings.

sorry, i meant architecture education regulatory board, like our CAAEM.

hi i am ex-matriculation students.. i would like to know what's the qualification for architecture fields.. does it need high profile academic background..
thanks in advance..

define "high profile academic background".

um.. i mean does it need a good cgpa result for that course.. maybe 3.50 or higher..
yesterday, we got our final exam result..and i didnt get a good result..
now im afraid being 'lelong' to other weird courses.. T.T

obtaining perfect score doesnt guarantee u will survive the grueling interviews, as some of ur mates here can attest to. it will get u to the interviews, sure. but beyond that, it's all YOU.

if u dont score a good grade for ur STPM/matriculation, expect to be thrown to lesser favourite courses.

Hi, this is indeed a nice thread. I'd like to ask about the architecture course in UTAR(Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman). It's a total of 4 years including foundation but it's not yet accredited. Can I take the Part 1 exam after I obtained the certificate for the degree course in architecture even if the course is not accredited?

The course in UTAR, B.Sc (Architecture) is not a full architecture course. I am sure their prospectus would have stated this.
A full architecture course takes a minimum of 5 years, excluding foundation.
So, the UTAR course is meant to be Part I albeit not accredited.
Parts I & II exams are meant to be sat together and are meant for graduates with full architectural degree from unaccredited schools eg. B.Arch from the US. Therefore, a graduate with B.Sc (Architecture) is not eligible to sit for the exam.
