Hear! hear!
Azarimy, sad to say I really doubt he will have fun in architecture.
Benjamin,
You entire very long post is a very childish defence to my post. I do agree that you should defend yourself but in a mature and educated manner(we are in an education sub forum here), not ranting like a spoilt brat. You have energy and passion, if you can control and focus it then you might be a good student. But if you continue to think and act in this manner you will not finish this course.
We have seen many students come and go. It takes a certain attitude to excel in this course, and it takes a certain attitude to fail. You are now the latter. Learn to channel your energy/passion/hatred onto architecture and you might actually get somewhere. If you cant then choose another career.
Good luck! you will need it.
LOL... I second that!
Agreed that this fella here is kinda childish. Reminded me of myself 2 years back.
If he's not coming back to this thread, I guess he'll jut have to learn the realities the hard way!
How I wish this thread was here last time. Would have benefited a lot from it!

1. yes. but like i've mentioned earlier, if u hold a degree from an unaccredited school, u might need to get the proper LAM qualifications. u either take it as an individual candidate for the LAM exam, or sit for the final year of part 1 before continuing for part 2. also, do note that working experience usually counted by years, not months. 6 months might not be enough to make a difference.
2. germany is becoming more and more anglophone in its education, but i'm not sure to what extent. there are lots of good schools in germany. heck, even modern architecture education originated from bauhaus. so u'd be practically learning in the birthplace of architecture education, so to speak.
france on the other hand is one of the popular destinations if u wanna do alot of architecture. since they have about 1 architect per 1000 population, it means u'll have the best architects teaching in schools. i have not heard anything about studying architecture in switzerland, but u might wanna try italy and spain. both are extremely strong in architecture, although u shouldnt generalize all the schools.
u might be interested to know that UTM have conducted several joint programmes with university of bologna (italy), Ecole de Superior Architecture Paris de La Villette (france) and university of kansas (USA). the programme involves exchange of students, which might interest u as an easier path to actually get into those schools.
3. prospects from those schools are perhaps the same as any other international schools.
Thanks for the info!
Germany or France sounds interesting.
yea, I've also heard a lot about Spain Architecture schools.
Btw, does UTM have those joint programmes every year? Maybe it is easier that way.
