just some news update:

UTM won 3rd prize IFHP international design and planning competition



this is one of the annual design competitions that all architecture/planning schools around the world compete at, which over 100 universities participated .

uncle aza help me

after Bc S, go work 1st
how much r avrge salary?is it per month?
now uncle at aus or mas?got newspaper said aus HARAMKAN tudung at airport?really ka(off topic)

work where? in msia or australia?

assuming the BSc is LAM part 1 equivalent, then u'll work as either a technical assistant or an architect assistant. starting salary should be between RM1200 to RM1600 per month depending on how big the office, how many projects it has and where is it located. average 5-7 years experience should get u about RM2000.

i have no idea what's going on in australia bcoz i'm in the UK hehehe

well, if it is RIBA part 1 and working at UK how much will be the salary ?

without experience, the average is about GBP 1000 to 1300 per month. i've got one friend who's earning GBP2100 with only part 1, but he is freakishly good and have won several competitions. so shouldnt take him into comparison .

UTM also won a Special Mention Prize and a Commendation Prize from the Compasso Volante International Design Competition. In fact, I just came back from participating in that competition in Palermo, Italy.

The head of the jury is Architect Ian Ritchie.

about GBP 1000 to 1300 per month...

that's before tax. i always quote before tax or any subtractions .

u mean after part 1? why so little? I thought UK got optimize minimum wages?
beside, after part1 we need work for 1 year only can continue to part 2, can we do the pratical and go in part2 at the same times?

GBP 1000 for part 1 graduates ARE the minimum wage. not everything in the UK is nice and peachy, u know. there arent much room for part 1, mainly bcoz they would prefer a part 2 who can do the entire job alone - from design sketch to draft to construction and so on rather than a dedicated part 1 who can only do so much.

remember that in the UK the salary range is quite small. in msia salary range in an architect firm can be from RM700 to RM7k. in the UK, it's between GBP1k to GBP4k (does not include boss/partner/principle).

for ur 2nd question, usually no, unless u score 1st class in ur part 1. and usually only ur own university would allow such a thing. transfering to a different university for part 2 still requires u to complete ur year out (practical training). the requirement of RIBA clearly states that u need to complete ur year out for 1 year full time. u cant do it part time.

oo, so after part 1 we need find job ourself or university will find for us? can we back Malaysia to complete the practical year? Is there any requirement of company we choose? such as the company must be well known or it must be some company university recommend.

after part 1 u will need to find the job urself. although graduating from prestigious universities has its perks - they're so well connected that even before the final term ends there will be piles of offers for any graduate from the school.

yes, u can come back to malaysia to complete the practical year.

it can be of any company that is fully licensed to practice at the respective country. meaning if u plan to work in UK, then make sure the office is licensed with RIBA and ARB. if in malaysia, PAM and LAM. the university have no right whatsoever to determine where u wanna work (actually, they dont really care).

the practical training requirement in the UK is for u to enter part 2, not to graduate part 1.

ok well, thanks for the information.

by the way, any recommanded book for architecture techology? those which include physic, structure and math.

Hello,

I'm currently taking my A-level for 2 years, will then proceed to UK to study architecture. i'm now taking AS level art as one of the subjects. Should i further it and take A2 level for art? Is it a plus point if I have a-level art especially during the application to UK universities, or it's sufficient to have an AS level art for enhancement to do the port folio?

I would like to thank you in advance.

only certain universities would require u to have an A-levels art. one of it being the bartlett school of architecture (UCL). i'm not sure if other schools would require art subjects at A-levels, but mostly dont. however, having some form of formal education in art, even at basic levels will definitely improve ur chances of getting in.

art qualifications does not improve ur portfolio. it improves ur ceevee. dont be confused between ur ceevee and portfolio, bcoz it is two different things in the application of an architectural degree.

I see. but, how much different between portfolio n ceevee in the application of an architectural degree?
What do u think about an architecture student taking double degree? perhaps in art.

double degree in arts? are u talking taking one at a time or a both simultaneously? if u can juggle ur time, sure. architecture and arts are two courses that serious demand creativity as well as time. these are not courses u can study last minute, i have to honestly tell u. an architecture student barely could find time to work part time, let alone taking a double degree.

if u're taking one at a time, then u'd probably be wasting ur time. there's almost absolutely no bonus or benefits in terms of profession and future whatsoever. maybe personal satisfaction, perhaps, but nothing more. honestly art and architecture would overlap each other quite substantially, it'll be a waste of time bcoz what u learn in art would probably have already been taught in architecture.




portfolio is a collection of artworks or related that u've compiled throughout the years. the objective is to showcase ur versatility in various types of art, or how advanced a particular skill u've developed. this usually consists of an album or a compiled series.

a ceevee is a literally a list of academic and co-curricular achievements that u have. it can be one or several pieces of paper.
