hi azarimy,

wondering if there's possibility of redirecting route from interior designer towards becoming the architect? from my past understanding is that there it was possible by completing a five year degree with interior architecture to proceed into study as a second year or third year architect student. unsure if is possible to do that locally or overseas. but understanding some issues back then, another question is are graduate students from overseas to return home be eligible for LAM part 1?

glad u could enlight on that. many thanks.

yup azarimy, it was long time..the degree was call the bachelor of arts in interior architecture, the three years serve as a diploma in interior design which most of it's module to cater the direction towards interior architecture. it was a long story, will try to cut it short. These are creative professionals who do not only plan and design public, commercial, recreational, institutional and domestic buildings, but are also responsible for and qualified in the management of the implementation of such projects.

well, it was an interesting course for such program to be offered back then when it's a rare opportunity of twinning and credit tranferance with few architecture creditable universities international. somehow in the years, i have lost track. and the new modules doesn't serve that way anymore and it was only perceived as an interior design course. which somehow saddens the interest.

that's how your topic title interest me to look out more... =)

ID has 5 years of degree? i'm pretty sure they're just 3 years only.

that aside, yes, after ur degree in interior design, u could join up part 1 architecture at 2nd year. there is a possibility that if ur degree shares similar subjects with the architecture degree, u could transfer enough credits to join straight to 3rd year. u could do this locally or internationally.

finally, if they graduate from RIBA or RAIA accredited schools, they should be eligible for LAM, depending on which qualifications (part 1 or 2).
polytechnic diploma in architecture uses the exact same curriculum and syllabus as it is centralized and managed by the ministry, and has more or less the exact same facilities, which is also managed by the ministry. so it all boils down to the expertise of the lecturers, and the bunch of people who studies there with u. so in our eyes, one poly is as good as the other. my suggestion, choose one that is convenient for u.
