hie, anyone can give some opinion on what kind of job to expect with a part 1 degree from an unaccredited university?
i.e. the Job scope, expected salary, highest position possible in a company (big and small). I intend to work.. long term.
What will the future be like if I don't intend to pursue part 2? Any direction or wisdom is greatly appreciated.
I thank u guys in advance..
I'm near the completion of my part 1.. with average results

wow, thanks for the speedy reply!

Is it advisable to work with Part 1 for 2 years or so before getting a part 2?
I'm kinda tight financially. Loan's one of my only option.
Unless there is a way to gain entry to part 2 in any IPTAs with a degree from an IPTS? I actually did in an IPTS with loan. Looks like after graduation, I'll have a lot of paying back to do.. lol

I'm interested to do Architecture in Spain. Currently doing by 3rd year now.
Would you recommend it?
I've heard that they focus a lot on other technical aspects.
I'm not sure if it's RIBA recognized or not. As far as I know.. it isn't in Malaysia?

Mr. Aza,

Does IPTA like UTM, USM or UM accept students from non-accredited IPTS schools based on portfolio ?
Will working experience, say about 6 months or more help in getting an entry to IPTAs?

On another matter, I would like to try other alternatives too.
I have a keen interest in other non-anglo saxon countries such as germany, france or switzerland. Do you recommend studying in any of those schools besides the usual UK and Aust?
What will the future prospects be?
Will probably have to learn their language for a year or so and take their test but I can do that while working.

I am not in a hurry to finish studying architecture in such a short time as this profession generally takes much longer, like what you mentioned.


Please advise me on this. Thanks!

Azarimy, sad to say I really doubt he will have fun in architecture.  rolleyes.gif

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.
