Hi Azarimy!
Now i'm in Taylor's college for my diploma in architecture.At the first day the programme director told us that :"hey u guys r so lucky,u guys no need to study extra 2 more years for master!cuz....after u guys finished ur degree in Ausralia for 3 years,u guys are going to get a MASTER DEGREE!"

i dont know whether i'm too boombastic or not?!haha..

So i would like to know for us who will get our master degree after studying 6 years,what's the advantages?

Thanks
Carrielyn

haha,i'll sure come to melbourne n find u. juz a joke.
I really dont know the changes on their degree course.i'm really blur blur!aiks.
So u said i'll be recognised by PAM once i finished my 3 years in aussie or in finished my part 1,2,3? haa

Hey actually does Tayloy's college asking for accredition from PAM? I hope i'm no need to take part 1 n part 2!! but it'll be ok.

Oh thanks Justin n Azarimy!! I hv got it !

Now i really realised about that: "just that da name is different to attract more ppl to study their programme."

Em now i hv 1 question to ask is:
- If i complete my 1st year diploma in Taylor,can i get a job in the holiday which is
related to architecture which can help me in my future career? Or if i finished my
1st semester in Taylor?

This is because Taylor's architecture student n QS students hv 2 long holidays in A year which are almost 2 months.

For this year:
19th May 2007-15th Jul 2007
24th Nov 2007- ??th Jan 2008

So now i'm wondering,n can say is dreaming that wat i'm going to spend my holiday wisely!haa.i know i think too much...but pls tell me more detail bout this.

Thanks.

Haa,me?it seems like it'll not be work!? But i'll try if there is a chance.
But if Taylor get the part 1 accreditation,wat can we do with it? For just no need to sit for the Part 1 n get recognition for part 1 automatically?

Thanks.N if u r free pls tell me wat way to ask Tony.i mean wat the reason will make him listen to me!^^

Thanks!

Where can i apply for intership? Is it from my Architecture school or find some firm out there?

N does intership stands for :working abroad or may be working in local?

Thanks

I would like to know the meaning of First honour actually. Is it the consider as a same level for anyone of them who get first honour in different course?

My friend told me that a person who get first honour in their studies,they will get better priority to get into better/good/famous Uni no matter these uni are linked to the college or not linked to college. Is it true?

Is it something like master or phd that we need to pursue it?

But not much of them can get it rite?

I'm asking so much cuz my college come a new lecturer who had her first honour in architecture n now she is waiting for her phd results while teaching us next week onwards.

Anyone please explain this to me.Thanks.

Azarimy,

A mature student that mean by UK universities is students who finished their diploma here and going to persue their degree in UK?

Let's say University of Cambridge,they accept every colleges' diploma couse in Malaysia or just some??How bout Taylor?

University of Cambridge is more base on technical/practical?

For us who persue diploma here,what is the minimum requirement for us of our diploma results(agak agak)?

N do we(only 1st year Archi diploma student) to start doing research or find a good Uni that suitable for ourselves?

Thanks A lot.

Bout how much the living expenses in UK let say we study in London.

Thanks.

Yeah I may aim AA as my second stage to continue my degree.But I also aim for other Uni which mostly in UK.

Just like what Azarimy said,studying in UK make u explore more and you are not only in a country itself.In UK u can go to any europe country u wan as long as u hv enough money to go travel.haha...i'm saving money.

Azarimy,

Do we need to do the what international student identity card?So we can save more money on travelling n spending.is there something like that???


Thanks.

Added on March 6, 2007, 5:55 pmand can u tell me more about the UK's study loan?cuz i dont really understand bout the AA's study loan.It says we pay bac our tuition fee by 9% of our salary will be minus if we r earning 18000 pounds of salary.Then i calculate it,we at least nid to take ten years to finish paying the debts.n if we dont get salary more than that a year then how?

Thx.hope everybody who face this problem befoere would help

Cuz i dont want to go into places that study theorical stuff.I know i'm NOT interested in thAT.I hope to go into places like RMIT(royal melbourne institute of Technology)actually.This Institute is a lot on technical n practical.N i get to know that RMIT is the best Architecture school in Australia now from an australia architecture student forum....i dont know how was it now?!haha...

N like uni of melbourne of taylor head,tony said that it's a uni that is more on theorical n historic wat wat,he,he...so i dont think i'm goin in to there.

Hi Azarimy,

Now i'm doing my final project d.The first semester is almost end.I hv a question here.

"How to make an effective and creative portfolio?" Can u giv me a guide that Wat i should hv in it ? Cuz my lecturer said that we can design our own portfolio but juz not to over design or decorated it.So i would like to know wat the interviewer would like to see the most as u had been a interviewer be4 rite?

Thank you for all.

is construction law an important subject to architecture students? i'm goin to choose an elective subject for my 2nd sem n i dunno whether i hv to choose estimating or construction law or site surveying.is these subjects will be taught in future( i mean in uni)

if there are any taylorians, pls give some suggestions.

thank you.

icic.thanks azarimy.

sigh,actually i'm planning to take 6 subjects in every sem so that the 3 years diploma can become 2 n a half year. but those subjects included design studio with 5 credit hours. so i juz worried will i failed to handle this heavy burden.

do u think is that wiseble to make out this decision?
i) take 6 subjects in every sem which about 16-18 total of
credit hours and be very busy

OR

ii) take only bout 4 or 5 subjects,just like the college
arranged and will not be that stressed

Do u think this decision will affected my results? Which maybe caused by the lacking of time to finish the project or dint put enough time on it(means not enough effort)

can u pls pls giv me some opinion or suggestions?

thank you for ur answers.

thank you Azarimy.what u say is really true.i juz released my knot in my heart.hahaha. actually i'm thinking too much n also worrying too much. so now i had decided to take 13-15 credit hours n it's ok 5 subjects.

luckily i dint made a decision of taking 6 subjects if not i'm putting the black history for myself in studying architecture.haa.process is most important......

thank you so much azarimy.maybe of too freshie too.haha. i juz finished my 1st sem n goin to start my 2nd sem in nex week.hee.thnk u!
