The course (B.Sc in Architecture) in UTAR is not accredited as Part 1. It is a new course.
Whether it can be accepted for the purpose of credit transfer to UTAS or other uni remains to be seen. You have to ask UTAR if they have any prior arrangement with any uni for this purpose.

Cause I heard from a local graduated that locals use a lot BM as lecturing language.

I heard from a friend studying in UKM that the course is mainly in English but some subjects are taught in BM. Some of the lecturers are probably not conversant in English.

most of IPTAs nowadays have a number of international students who cant speak a word of BM. so go figure .

so the question also related to local architects.

Why is our template still in BM?

what template? drawing template?

well, it depends on the client laa. malaysia's official language is still BM. so all official dealings will be in BM. if ur client is the government, then it'll be in BM. else, it's up to u and the client.

Okay.
so govt = BM (no doubt about it, bcos official language is BM)

Why does it have to be based on client? so which mean if i`m doing china project; mandarin?

Simple - because the client is your paymaster.

All things being equal, which architect would a client from China choose - one who can communicate in Mandarin or one who can't? The drawings can still be in English.

For government projects, the drawings and B.Q. can be in English but other written documents are in Malay.

For submission to the authorities, most authorities accept drawings in English except for some (in the northern states).

if i plan to do architecture, for matrikulasi if i take account it doesn't matter?

it doesn't matter..
i have a friend from matriculation (accounting) went to architecture school (USM)..

What matters is the grades you get, not the subject you take.
So, take subjects you think you can score the highest grades, any subjects.
Unlike other dsiciplines, there is no specific subject requirement for Architecture.

i'm a spm leaver.... so, i have some question to ask.... is it true there is no specific subject reqirement for archt? btw, my teacher said that anybody who did not

take art.. so, they could not to do archt. after this... which one is true?? please anybody answer my question!!!! coz, my friend really interested to do

archt but they did not take art....

no specific requirement, isnt it?

lately some schools have started making specific subject requirements, but i do not see it as something that's gonna be consistent across the board. some do require arts from SPM, but there's not for STPM. but then again, if u could prove ur artistic skills, u dont need those subjects. just submit ur portfolio instead.

Well. i never take any arts subject during my spm years. pure science from MRSM. Enroll and turns up ok. In fact, many architectural students don't have basic arts but can be
succesful in their architectural studies. Probably having little trouble in ur 1st or 2nd year but u'll eventually turns up ok.
U just have to sharpen the skill no matter how blunt urs is.
