most likely that one year is a pre U program and you hav to continue da rest of ur studies (thats 5 years for ur information at that university)

no matter where u study, most importantly u need 5yr of architecture education (after STPM or A Levels) or 6 years after SPM for ur degree to be even recognized.

also American architecture programs are not accredited wif Part 1 or Part 2 exams.

Pls dun just listen here n there or "I have been told". Just refer here for all the accurate informations. We have azarimy, an architecture lecturer and a few archi students here to give u da proper guide. Check back and read from page 1.

also American architecture programs are not accredited wif Part 1 or Part 2 exams. <<<<---Really??u mean ALL??or just some U?

I listen it frm my cousin`s dad!!He hv called here n there to ask n done many research for his son who is now just F4..He also even call that U n ask!! n He also graduated frm there as an Engineer..n some of his friend also graduate Architecture frm there!! n they are doing well now !! He also did this last time.study 1 year at INTI(take few subject) n continue studies there.he say it`s easier studying there than study here(loan thingy prob,will be very burden)Go there half working half studying)Better choice?

Hey, I called.They asked me to check again, and I have been selected.
Brigestone , you better check again.

as justin've said, american architectural degree is not recognized by LAM. yes, u can still curi2 practice in msia. but be aware that u're not a licensed architect, hence pose a great deal of legal issues IF something goes wrong during practice. this is absolutely no problem if u just wanna stay and work in the US though.

even if u managed to curi2 practice, it would be quite pointless becoz to become a succesful architect, u would need part 3. and u can never sit for part 3 without part 1 and 2. there is a prerequisite to sit for part 3, and that includes 2 years minimum practice that fulfills a specific list of jobs and responsibility. this will be recorded in ur logbook. the logbook can only "start" AFTER u've registered for part 2.

i registered quite late for my part 2 license. hence all the works i did before my part 2 license wont be counted into my application for part 3.


attention all. recheck ur UTM call for interview

congratulations! Let us know where ur interview place will be when u receive the letter.

yeha ! yahoo ...

still the same for me ... TIADA ...

OMG! I got it! On the 22nd April, 8.30 am, JB main campus.
So excited. But haven't booked my ticket yet. Dunno I'm chosen for USM architecture interview or not. Haizzz...
BTW, is the result for USM interview out?

congratulations! Give me a buzz when u are here.

i hate this !
"Maaf, adalah dimaklumkan nama anda TIADA dalam senarai Layak Dipanggil Temuduga untuk Sesi 2007/2008.
Atas minat melanjutkan pelajaran ke Universiti Teknologi Malaysia di dahului dengan ucapan terima kasih."

congratulation to all those who get it .

Added on April 15, 2007, 12:41 pmA friend of mine also got the interview, but not with me. His interview site is in KL. Not too sure about his result. but I think should be not bad. Perhaps 3.25++? I donno.

So far I still haven't booked my air ticket yet. Saw the AirAsia ad on newspaper this morning. They now offer RM49.99 one way ticket from Kuching to JB. Haha. Fortunately I didn't book earlier 'cos the other I checked it was RM79.99.

Wonder where can I find good yet cheap hotel around UTM? My senior recommended Rose Cottage. Is that a place? Safety is a major concern here.

first, i'd like to congratulate those who're offered for the interview.

to those who doesnt, doesnt mean that u're bad or unqualified. it simply means that there is an unfortunately huge number of applicants with slightly better qualification than u applying at the same time. it would probably be different the next time around . dont let this deter u from ur interest in architecture. ofcourse, there are other ways u could pursue this course other than UTM alone.


accommodations near UTM skudai:

UTM also has its own rumah tamu which is located inside UTM campus itself. info can be found here. u might need to book as soon as possible for these, as they are one of the fastest to go for any event.

Taman Universiti (10 minutes drive):

outside UTM, rose cottage is one of those i'd recommend. it's cozy, cheap and near 24 hour mamak.

Apollo motel is the cheapest, but also perhaps the dodgiest. decent enough if u're alone or with friends, but not with family.

there are a few motels in Tmn Universiti. let me know if u need contacts.

However, if ur travelling wif family, Good Hope Hotel (20mins away) is the cheapest 3 star hotel nearest to campus.

yeah, agree...if u really have the intention to pursue architecture, there are many other colleges or universities which offer this as well, so, dont give up !!!

By the way, i wonder when can we know the result for these interviews....

well, i know that the result is usually finalized within a week after the interview. after that, the final list will be submitted to unit kemasukan dan rekod UTM, and will be processed there. so it's either:

i. the list will be passed to UPU for further processing/calling
ii. UKR UTM will send the offer letter out themselves

i'm not sure which will be done for this year. the 1st option would mean u'd get the offer letter within 5-6 weeks. the 2nd option would be faster, about 3-4 weeks.

i am so down now ... no more UTM architectural for me .
can apply for rayuan ?
