Not sure where u get that info from, because aa one of a handful of people who sits in the accreditation committee, I sure as heck didnt hear any list to be released haha.
What is going to happen is, 2017 will be the last cohort to study using the overseas accredited list that u see currently. After 2017, the list will be obsolete, and no overseas architecture schools will be automatically accredited by LAM. So ur sibling's part 1 (should he/she be going to melbourne) will be accredited, but when he/she wanna continue for part 2, it wont be anymore.
When the automatic accreditation ends, overseas schools whi r interested to continue the accreditation will seek LAM out to arrange for accreditation and vetting process. Should they be successful, they'll be added to a fresh list of accredited schools, just like what happens to local schools.
So by then, ur sibling could choose to further in those schools instead. For now, my suggestion is to go to melbourne.
Thank you so much for your prompt reply!
I have further questions if you don't mind.
1. How does accreditation work? Is it based on 'when X graduates' or 'when X enters into university'?
2. I'm not sure if you are aware, but Melbourne University introduced its new model in 2008, which means that current architecture students obtain a degree called Bachelor of Environments (3 years) which is designed to be a general pathway to master degrees in engineering, architecture, surveying and other related fields. Students then go on to do a Masters of Architecture (2 years). We noticed that this differs from "B. Arch / M. Arch (Coursework) - Option C" for University of Melbourne in the LAM list. Does this affect accreditation for Part 1 or Part 2 in any way?
Thank you so much for your time.
