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?

QUOTE(tehtmc @ May 20 2011, 11:24 PM) The course in UTAR, B.Sc (Architecture) is not a full architecture course. I am sure their prospectus would have stated this. Oh...Will it be possible that UTAR extends the course duration in the future?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. http://lam.gov.my/download/newlamform/Hand...II)-Nov2004.pdf  |

QUOTE(tehtmc @ May 20 2011, 11:43 PM) None of the IPTS courses in architecture are yet to be accredited. Thanks for the info. Unfortunately it is too late for me to change my mind now. I've already decided to start foundation in UTAR.Taylors has been conducting the same course for some years now but they have yet to start the B.Arch course. It is probably because of the issue of accreditation. I think they are being prudent not to offer a 2nd course when the lst course is not accredited. LUCT have started their B.Arch course which is of course not accredited. It is also offered in KLIU. |
