Referring to this list above on accredited Architecture program, I'm surprised to find out only 4 universities in Australia is recognized by LAM - Monash University, Deakin University, University of Tasmania and University of Newcastle.

My question is top universities like RMIT and UniMelbourne are both not accredited? I remember last time reading somewhere these universities are accredited in Malaysia.

Ahhhh did not realise last year all overseas qualification was revamped. Now its like starting all over again. ohmy.gif

I got few question to fellow members here.

1. What if I decided to study lets say UniMelbourne program? If it get accredited in the future, will the accreditation process include me (having join in an 'unaccredited period')??

2. Is there a way to be accredited after studying in a non-accredited program such as RMIT? If I get accredited by AACA will I be recognized by LAM too since there's this clause in place.

Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) between Malaysia and the foreign countries or between the Board and its foreign counterpart;

1. Accreditation is only valid if you graduate within the specified period. If you graduated 1 day before or after that period, you will not be accredited. Even if you joined during the accredited period, and for some reason the school's accreditation was withdrawn or expired, or if you extended your studies into a period that it was not accredited, you will not be accredited as well.

2. Yes. You can sit for LAM Parts 1 and 2 exams when you return here, regardless whether you hold an AACA accreditation or not.

MRA is between the board and its foreign counterpart. As the boards are the official regulatory body from the respective countries, it's effect is the same as MRA between countries.

"Students who enrolled in any programme stated in the previous List within its effective recognition period will not be affected by the new rulings."

Quoting from LAM website, I think they refer to the date you enrol in the program eh? Not graduation date?

That is referring to the implementation date of the new Accreditation List effective 1 Jan 2017 (last year). Meaning those who were currently enrolled in the programme at the time are not affected by the new rulings, regardless when they graduate.

Since that date has come and passed, that statement no longer applies to new enrollments.

Ok understand.

Do you recommend student to do a Degree which is not accredited by the LAM and then in turn do Part1 and Part2 examination? How's the general consensus of the examination? Is it damn hard to pass or its actually simple?
