Dear Mr.Aza,
I am a Part I architect which have been working in an architecture firm 2.5years, and now looking to further my studies for Master Architecture (Part II).
I am applying for USM, UPM and UKM. I know 3 of these Uni the Master Part II r not accredited by LAM, I wondering why since UKM have stated their Part II by Year 2005, but they still can't get the accreditation by LAM Part II until now? While Taylor's just started the Part II on Year 2013, and now they got the accreditation by LAM. Could Mr.Aza enlighten me the problem? Thank You.

QUOTE(azarimy @ Aug 5 2016, 01:09 PM) i'm not aware that UKM has been offering part 2 since 2005. let me check first. i know UKM only recently started the part 2 masters programme, but they need to produce the 1st cohort before accreditation can take place. like taylor's, started 2013, produced 1st grad recently and immediately go for accreditation and got it. so i'm sure UKM would do the same too. but like i said earlier, i'm not particularly certain about its previous part 2 programme. 
Mr.Aza, thanks for your replied. I am according to the UKM official website, the introduction of department of architecture. This is why i curious about their accreditation for part II. By the way, is Mr.Aza know is there a min. students required to start a course? and any min. numbers of student required to call for accreditation from LAM during the final semester? TQ. |

QUOTE(azarimy @ Aug 8 2016, 01:44 AM) sorry for the late reply. been away for a while. i did a check, and there was indeed several batches produced by UKM. however, the reason(s) why they didnt get LAM part 2 is unclear to me. but from what i understand, currently they're going for masters and try to go for that accreditation directly. to qualify for accreditation, the school must at least produce a sizable cohort that would be statistically sound in order to determine that the programme offered meets the standard set. normally this would be around 15-20 graduating students. but we have seen a number as low as 8 students only. basically, if the number is to small, we cant be sure if the students were inherently good before they start or they became good because of the programme. so at 15-20 students passing, they would be confident enough that it is not a fluke or statistical anomaly. Hi Mr.Azari, it's great to know that UKM are going for master accreditation. Besides that, I heard that UKM is using BM in teaching and presentation as well as thesis submission, because it is university kebangsaan, is this real? |
