Added on July 27, 2007, 10:39 pmowh yea..about the part-time course..whats the duration like ? 5 years also or longer then the full-time ?

longer, obviously. since u can only take a maximum of 12 credits per semester (normally 14-16). UiTM have a different way to calculate credits (different from the entire world apparently haha), so dont get urself confused here .

so for a 5 year course, it would usually take about 8 years part time.

is it ? ahaha.. thats werid..how diff ? in what way ?

wahhh..so freaking long..8 years ?

pardon me if this question seem naive, just curious, could we learn architecture our own, i mean self-learning at home? possible if one's has basic?

i cant exactly remember the details, but last i checked UiTM has a different credit ratings for their subjects compared to most universities in the world. in average, the total credits taken per semester is between 14-16 credits. i distinctly remember a lecturer from UiTM during a CAEM meeting boasted UiTM students capability of averaging 18-20 credits per semester. hell, the maximum credits allowed is only 18, how do anyone take more than that?

later another lecturer from USM (i think) pointed out that UiTM has different way of calculating the subject credits. the load of the 18 credits in UiTM is apparently the same with 14credits in other universities.

anyways, UiTM may have changed their system. so i might be in the wrong here. the easiest way to check is, what is UiTM's maximum credit registration per semester? if it's 18, means they've used the same method to calculate subject loading as other universities. if it's 24, then it's the UiTM's template.

in theory, yes. in practice, no.

there's no text book in learning architecture. architecture is centred on design, and anybody or anybook that tells u "there's one ultimate way of doing design" is absolutely crap! design is a process of self discovery, problem seeking & problem solving. it is also a time where designers reflect on themselves and seek to improve their designs. this is not something u can teach urself at home.

imagine teaching someone to become mature (socially) at home. is it possible? or would the better way is to let them mingle around with friends, and learn life the hands-on way?

architecture has never been a theoretical course. the education evolves in the early 1800s, where the primary method of learning architecture is through apprenticeship. u learn from a master or mentor, and u adapt their skills as urs. there never has been a period where architecture is taught only through lectures (theories), and it has always been a hands-on experience right from the start.

ever heard the phrase learning-by-doing? it has been adapted in normal education as "workshops". this originated from architecture education. how about problem solving or problem-based learning? this also have evolved from architecture education. heck, if u sort out the constructivist approach in education, this also has evolved from architecture education. only that nowadays people are looking at how to accommodate architecture education into the norm of education, whereas arch education are a major contributor for alternative/new education in the first place!

architecture is a life long learning. the entire education doesnt stop when u graduate. the school is just where an architect learn their basics. they become advanced when they start practicing. so to simply put, yes, u can learn architecture at home, but it wont make u an architect. hope this helps.

hey guys,I have a question here...
anyone here know the partner of taylor's college at UK for the architecture study? I heard that taylor's give a 3+3 architecture course which go further study to UK after diploma.The exam of part 1 and 2 will take after finish study,is that true?Just wonder which are the partner university of taylors college at UK...

help pls..thx

as far as i know, taylor's doesnt have a partner in the UK for architecture. taylor's partner for architectural studies is melbourne univ and queensland univ of technology, australia.

u only have to take the exams if ur diploma or degree are not recognized by lembaga akitek malaysia.

azarimy ,
i have a talked with dr.rashid last week about the local college diploma or degree programme . he told me about the PAM or LAM do consider about the qualification of the PART1 eventhough those who go for melbourne Uni PART2 study does qualify for PART2 from PAM .
lets say Diploma in Arc in Taylors ,PART1 is not accredited by PAM , but the Melbourne Degree PART2 course is accredited n recognize by PAM , but when we apply for the PART3 , PAM does consider about our PART1 qualification . hence it is not an ideal way to go for local colleges without proper accreditation and recognization . does that mean those who go for local colleges will suffer in terms of the process to get PRAT3.?

isnt that what i said all these time?

the way they get around it is: SPM > diploma (non part 1) > 1st degree (part 1) > 2nd degree/masters (part 2)

as u can see, the diploma wont be assessed as part 1, but only the combination of diploma + 1st degree would be assessed. as i've mentioned before, LAM does not recognize any twinning programmes, and the 3 dip + 1 deg is considered as a twinning programme. this is up to LAM to accredit individual students applying for both part 1 and 2 in LAM.

So, Universiti Sains Malaysia should be SUM(science university of malaysia) haha
btw i'm usm architecture student.

jap2
pening
err
BSc Arch - part 1
B Arch - part 2
where come master?
how about part 3?

BSc in Architectural Studies/Science/Technology/History/whatever is always part 1. note that BSc = "Bachelor of Science in..."

BArch is always part 2. BArch = "Bachelor of Architecture".

quite easy to spot the difference there.

masters and part 3 are two different branches that u can take after part 2. masters is obviously a more academic/research path, while part 3 is the professional path. it's not considered equivalent in anyway. masters is not equivalent, lower or higher than part 3, and vice versa.

u dont need masters to do ur part 3, neither is part 3 for masters. u can sit for both if u want.

however, there are certain masters programme in the UK that is a professional programme conducted by RIBA/ARB that allows u to sit for the part 3 exam as part of its integrated curriculum. it means u'll get ur masters and ur part3 together.

part 3 is an education programme? or just exam?
other words than 'part 3'?or just part 3

the full title would be LAM Part 3. i dont think they call it any other names, though.

part 3 is a professional exam, something like lawyer's bar exam. passing the exam would give u the license to become a full fledge architect. it's not an academic programme. the exam is conducted by the country's governing body of architecture. in msia it's LAM (lembaga akitek malaysia), in the UK it's ARB.

can u explain more how the exam will be?

sendiri mau baca haaaa...

rajin rajinlah.

Well,I have a question here.If I have a 3 years diploma study in Taylors then transfer to Melbourne U for further study,I only have to study for 1 year n 26 weeks of work exp to get a bachelor,is it same as part 1?...and am I able to apply for part 2 study in UK using this Melbourne U part 1?
