Anyone know how good UniMelb's Architecture course is? Or anyone who took or is taking that course currently? Planning to do 3 years in taylors and 2 years in unimelb if feedback is good

I would love the link too. very bias

melbourne archecture is okay, although some says less "practical and current" than others, say rmit..............

better check carefully, i think it is 3+1, after spm, ie 3 years at taylors and 1 years in melbourne, for the 1st part. there is no quarantee you will articulate into the 3rd year of the 1st degree in melbourne, it depends if you achieve the minimum grades required by melU..................(note: melU 1st degree 3 years, 2nd degree 2 years)

your status after that is just like a draftsman, you will need a year's working experience after that, then another 2 years in melU for the part 2 (2nd degree), after which you are considered a graduate architect.............then you need to do your professionals, or part 3, to qualify as a professional architect...........

architecture is a very long course, as long as medicine..............

checked the taylors website..........3 years for diploma of architectural technology at taylors, then final year of bachelor of environments, then 1 year out working before another 2 years for master of architecture.................

See, the research was conducted by the Melbourne Institute, a research institute at the University of Melbourne.

Regardless of this fact, I'd say not to take any rankings seriously because there's no uniform metrics applied at all and sometimes, the results are skewed or differ only by a small margin. Unless you're a postgrad, this should not be a major worry. As you can see, all the Go8 unis perform incredibly well.

limeuu, are you perfectly sure about that?

I thought it was like part 1 3 years in taylors. Then i do 2 years in unimelb for my part 2 (if i achieve minimum grades)

Well if this is the case then this pathway is certainly not the shortest =( i should look into other cols/unis and their pathways then...

add on :

Added on April 28, 2007, 7:40 ammmm unimelb is good ..but some prefer RMIT<--- practical industry collaboration
currently the architecture course is going to be overhaul ...
2008 is the beginning of new model for unimelb
which mean tat in instead graduate take 6 years for full architecture
it will be chnage to 3 yrs of bachelor and 2 yrs for master
5 years programme
im planning to go in later if can, not in rush

oh haha. ok is bias because is done by Melb Ins themself - they can get a greater of sample from their uni themself and which uni will not say they are the best. neway thanks for the link =) cheers mate.

Hi all,

I am no longer a student nor are planning to go over to Australia for studies, but just to share some freindly reminders for my fellow Malaysian students planining or are already studying in Australia.

First of all, I must say that Australia is a very beautiful country with very nice weather, and I believe that it's a very good environment for studies.

However, almost every cities has a CASINO, which is reachable easily for many, and that includes students studying there.

Have been to Australia a couple of time, and have visited the casino most of the time , and every time, I have met a lot of big gamblers, and they are partly STUDENTS

Putting this reminder here I have no intention of creating any prejudice, but to serve as a reminder to who are planning to go there for studies.

Discipline is atmost important when you are alone as there will be alot of temptation, putting aside cultural shock and many others, but GAMBLING really ruin a lot of students who lack self control, whom I have read and come across

Therefore, forgive me if I say the wrong thing here that offence anyone, but at least some planning going over, would be more prepared.

Last but not the least, I wish all the students there a very successful sutdies.

Once again, my apologies in interupting the discussion here

Any reason why Go8s are performing so imba-ly well?

Thanks for the reminder but im more afraid of getting carried away by forums and games than casinos.

aussie not about gambling, if you are in WA is all about landscape. well i dont bother about casino. here is all about beer, wine! but not food lmao. =D

Because they're better funded.

Haha, it seems like there are some people here who would like to study engineering and were all discussing about the ranking of U in Australia, well to me i think which U rank higher doesnt really mean anything unless you are wanted. No point studying in the best U in aussie and come out with no jobs rite? Engineers in Perth are really different, as there is a high demand for it. I have many friends in Perth working as engineers, and all of them agree that this is the place where u can get highly paid as an engineer.... i am not sure about how much engineers get paid else where but the amount here is quite good....

true, quite true..as perth is building up due to its mining industry lotsa engineer from process to design etc etc is thr..

aus is all about alcohol. =.='''

i am so tempted to get the e65 from 3. XD

O.o that new nokia that 3 is offering on a 29cap?

its all about the alcohol


mining boom. the demand for mechanical engineers and civil engineers is going up, however, not much demand for mechatronics engineers damn

No demand for E&E too?Damn.

No.. Now E&E engineers are in demand as well as civil and mining etc etc

haha!
agree with u!
the biggest casino in perth is burswood...but i dont always go there...
usually go to the irish pub...
