hey, got question here, although i'm not sure if it's related.
i've just checked the courses offered by local unviersities and there are pretty a lot of courses look similar.
so here goes, what is teknologi bahan, pengurusan binaan and ukur bahan? it's not that i want to be spoon-fed, but i wish there are english terms provided in the list too.
thanks!

these are course that are related to architecture, in the family of the built environment (alam bina), but they're not architecture.

ukur bahan (quantity surveyors) are basically the accountants of the built environment. these are the guys who keeps everything in check, from the cost of each brick used in the construction, to how much u'd have to pay to infill 100cubic cm of gap hole.

teknologi bahan (material technology) is a study of materials. it's a smaller, more focused field in the built environment, specializing in what else - materials. this includes construction materials (bricks, timber, concrete, steel) to superficial materials (tiles, roof tiles, paint etc).

pengurusan binaan (construction management) are roughly contractors or site managers. i'm not sure what classification (kontraktor kelas A - F) u'd get after graduation though. depends on the course offered.

bro, i got A2 for Bi and Math, B4 for add math and D for fizik. What are the chances of me being an architect in the future?

Yea i know that,thank you Azarimy and justin.Maybe i'm too scared of making a wrong decision n how much my father will approximately spend for me....Thx anyway.

anything can change, with the condition that u work hard for ur aspiration and ambition.

my fren's bro scored badly in pmr and spm, but managed to score flat in stpm. see how a person's future can change?

those results wont make u good or bad architect. it is wat u learn in ur journey of architecture that'll define that.



dun worry bout being an adult til u forgot wat growing up is all about. ur dad's money has to be spent if u really wan to study this course. besides money is still being spent regardless what ur studying rite?

how is taylor?

from what i know, taylors have not yet been acrediacted.
but,wont it be soon?

thnks!

with the results i got, is it possible for me to study architecture?

taylor's havent been accredited yet. i have no news over their accreditation process. an accreditation process could take several years. last i checked they havent started it yet.

have u checked with the university/college u're applying to?

u should know that with SPM u can only apply a diploma, not a degree. so u might wanna try for STPM or A-levels to better secure ur place. at least go for foundation. u can read the best route for studying architecture in the first post of this topic.

UTM Diploma Pengurusan Harta Tanah is Dip. in Valuation in English? Thanks.

azarimy could you update the pictures in your first post? i cant see some of them

i can see the pics mighty fine over here. check ur connections again.

there is one table that's causing the problem. i took it down, and i'm trying to fix it. will be back in a few hours.

to me, architecture is everything,everything is architecture...it is master of all arts & building but to master all takes plenty of time, so it is better to niche at some point

now u're catching on!

however, there's also this thing called "dont jump the gun" in architecture. it's good to develop a good sense of design early on, but at the same time, u must always keep an open mind to new things. stuff that u might see as awesome stuff during 1st or 2nd year might be already outdated.

also, a student must be very, very careful not to fall into the niche areas too early. by the time a student graduate, they should be able to cover all the things an architect can do. going into niche area BEFORE u achieve this would mean u wont develop the entire architectural/designer's skills.

for example:

a student wants to jump immediately into design computing. he started using CAD and all other applications to develop his designs in his 2nd year. then by the time he graduates, he realized he wont be able to work with pencils (which is still the fastest way for an architect to communicate with a client). his future boss might not like this, as he would want to be able to send the kid straight away to do an architect's job and not wait for him to retrain himself with pencils!


so keep this in mind: dont jump the gun!

is the course of architecture in UM, which is stated as "sains senibina" the same as architecture course in other universities provided?

there are two architectural degrees in UM, which u will have to take both in a particular order.

u will need to take sarjana muda sains senibina (BSc Architecture) which is 3 years for PAM/RIBA part 1, and after that sarjana muda senibina (BArch - pronounced BIATCH) which is another 2 years for PAM/RIBA part 2.

that sounds great. one more question, is every Architecture course provided in different universities will be calling potential candidates to conduct the interview? cause from i've seen architecture in UM and UPM don't conduct any interview.
