aloha, hi, am a malaysian student who is studying in sydney, is my 3rd year here, studying my first year in bachelor of architecture.

erm, nothing much to share but, i am actually looking for a job! LOL, yeah, i am going back to malaysia for 3 months and planning to work under some architect firm to get more experience and understand more about this field and industry in malaysia.

But unfortunately, i am really bad with all the programs, thanks to my laziness, so yeah, so if anyone can pity me to let me in their firm, that would me much appreciated. (p/s. i don't ask for any pay at all, just wanna learn stuff and understand more about this industry)

promise won't be a procrastinator when i am working,

Bernard Lim

really?   
really?     i want to go to aussie then..  

hey guys...which college and U u guys from?

my friend wanna go for architecture...what college or U suit him?

NUS can be entered via STPM, provided u scored flats in all the subjects u hv taken. Some ex-STPM students from my scul are now studying in NUS.

i dunno about UM, but UTM have already started taking international students. the courses are conducted 100% in english, while exams, assignments, reports and theses are conducted in the language preferred by the students (malay by default).

excuse me, u cannot just simply walk in n enrol to study in NUS. they are not like Australian or NZ unis where they take in international students.

U have to b a Singaporean before you can apply for NUS. If ur a Malaysian who wants to study at NUS, your only way is through JPA scholarships or ASEAN scholarships.

By da way, FYI NUS architecture degree is not accredited wif part 1 and 2 exemption by PAM and LAM in Msia.

But u still can be an architect though. A design advisor, associate but not a legally practising architect. For that u need to take Part 1,2 and 3 exams.

to be frank wif u, try getting some architectural related softwares and toy wif it instead of looking for jobs. try getting familiar wif it or even do a small design wif this softwares.

an early grasp of these softwares will put u ahead of ur colleagues during ur studies esp during first year, where ppl r still groping in da dark while u have a clear advantage.

Softwares worth trying out are AUTOCAD, ILLUSTRATOR, PHOTOSHOP and SKETCHUP. These softwares come wif good Help files and basic tutorial, so you should be able to sweat it out on ur own after us STPM.

Yeah i know this doesnt pay, but hey, if u do well in ur studies next time, guess who'll benefit in da end? you or ur wallet?

last i checked LAM still hasnt recognized twinning programmes. although BArch in univ melbourne is certified with PAM part 2, that actually refers to students doing fulltime in melbourne. spend some time to call LAM and PAM to confirm about this. for LAM & PAM, it's not just the end product that is important, the journey itself is just as important as well.

however, if LAM and PAM gives the green light, i'd say good luck and all the best!

is this UCS refering to University College Sedaya? If it is their main campus in Cheras also offers architecture. Try checking out their website at UCSI

u guys might wanna check out Twintech University of Technology. The architecture degree used to be awarded by UTM as the course is conducted according to UTM curriculum and syllabus, but im not sure the franchise has been renewed or terminated.

UCS leads to U of Melbourne? really?

that list on the Uni Melb is not very comprehensive. Advanced standings are on a case by case basis. Other polytechnics or even Diplomas from UTM, UITM are also given advanced standings.

A Diploma from UTM are sometimes given 2.5 years off as well depending on your portfolio. University of Auckland gave me 3 years off for their degree program.
