Top Private Universities in Malaysia with Architecture Degree Accredited by Board of Architects Malaysia (LAM) Part 1

Written by EduSpiral Consultant Services For more information contact 01111408838

Students interested in Architecture should be prepared for a long road ahead to achieve the status of obtaining the title “Ar.” as a professional architect. Architecture is a combination of creativity, history, sciences, and design. You will learn how to conceptualise and design buildings in relation to the economic, technical, environmental and social needs. Architecture strongly relates to built environment and urban planning disciplines such as civil and structural engineering, quantity surveying, and property economics and management.

Students interested to pursue education in architecture must go for top private universities that are accredited by Lembaga Arkitek Malaysia. Students interested in architecture must not be colour-blind, should be good academically in maths, physics, science and design. Just because you are interested in design doesn't mean that you would do well in architecture. One needs a wide variety of skills & interests to be successful in architecture such as design, creativity, history, philosophy, maths, physics, buildings, etc. The Average passing rate is 9%~20% for the Lembaga Arkitek Malaysia (LAM) Part 3 which means that the path to become a professional architect in Malaysia is not an easy one.

For more information contact 01111408838

What is the Lembaga Arkitek Malaysia (LAM) and Becoming a Professional Architect in Malaysia

: EduSpiral patiently answered my questions on whatsapp & then took me around the campus for a tour to help me make a better decision.
Jie Sheng, Architecture at UCSI University

The architecture profession in Malaysia is protected by law. The regulating and governing body of the architecture profession in Malaysia is known as Lembaga Akitek Negara (LAM). They govern the entire profession starting from the definition of an architect under the Malaysian Constitution, licensing, practice, acts and enactments as well as education.

The other body that concerns the well being of architects themselves is Pertubuhan Akitek Malaysia.

It functions as an association that takes care of its members, organize functions and manages the professional development of an architect from the lowest to highest qualification. Just like Bar exams for lawyers, architects also require certain level of qualification that is a standard worldwide.

The qualifications are known as LAM Part 1, 2 and 3. The equivalent of this is RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects), AIA (American Institute of Architects) and RAIA (Royal Australian Institute of Architects).

Students after SPM or O-Levels will go for the Foundation program for one year first. After that, they will

: EduSpiral took these students separately to tour the campus and provided course counseling to help them make the right choice. Kian Yong (Mechanical Engineering), Yammie (Business), & Kenneth Pang (Architecture) at UCSI University's Orientation

go on to an Architecture degree that's accredited by Lembaga Arkitek Malaysia (LAM) Part 1. Upon completion of the degree, graduates will then go on to a Masters in Architecture that's accredited Lembaga Arkitek Malaysia (LAM) Part 2.

After graduating with Part 2, a person is known as an architect, and will be able to practice according to the job specification of an architect. This should be the minimum target of anyone pursuing this profession. Anything less is a waste of time.

These qualifications can be obtained in two ways:

Obtaining a fully accredited degree (or equivalent) that carries Part 1 or 2 equivalent.
Sitting for individual exams after obtaining a non-accredited degree for Part or 2.

Part 3 can only be obtained after practicing as an architect for a minimum of 2 years and fulfilling all the project requirements set by LAM.

Fulfilling these needs, the architect will then submit themselves to a series of interviews and exams to determine that they are capable and absolutely qualified. These exams are conducted by Persatuan Arkitek Malaysia (PAM).

Average Salary for Architects in Malaysia

The average salary for architects in Malaysia is taken from Afterschool.my

Fresh/Entry Level: RM 1.600 – RM 2,500

As part of our initiatives to document our heritage, the students visited Kampung Cina, Kuala Terengganu, to examine the site and produce detailed drawings. These drawings were subsequently used to restore a temple to its former glory, after it was partly ruined in a fire.

Other research projects undertaken by our students include:

Modern Architecture Kuala Lumpur Series featuring Masjid Negara, Muzium Negara, Stadium Negara, Stadium Chin Woo and British Council
The Inventory of Sungai Buloh Leprosy Settlements, Selangor
Chapel of St. Francis Institution, Malacca
No. 6, Hereen Street, Bandar Hilir, Malacca

Study the BSc. (Hons) Architecture Degree at Top Ranked UCSI University

Architecture is the art of designing the human built environment. Buildings are one of the most visible productions of man, and

: Architecture students at UCSI University receive personal attention from their lecturers

vary greatly in design, function, and construction implementation across the globe. The vision that Architects conceive is projected onto the society and the built environment in which they practice.

These conceptions and ideas will inadvertently have profound effects on the built environment, and consequently on the people who interact with that environment.

Architecture is, therefore, an art form, the learning of which requires professional practice, personal artistic development and technical knowledge of building.

The constant dialogue between society and the architect is what produces architecture - as a product and as well as a discipline.

Architecture is an art form - the learning of which requires professional practice, personal artistic development and technical knowledge of a building. The constant dialogue between society and the architect is what produces architecture - as a product and as a discipline.

The School of Architecture and Built Environment at UCSI University understands that all those who study and work in the ﬁeld of architecture need a framework for aesthetics and a functional appreciation for buildings and context.

This can only be achieved via a thorough grounding in the design process, building sciences and technologies allied to an understanding of the important social, cultural, artistic, and historical factors which inﬂuence architecture. This philosophy underpins every teaching and research programme delivered at UCSI University.

The architecture degree programme at UCSI University develops both academic understanding and practical skills required for careers in the professional ﬁeld. Graduates will be equipped for careers in the broad ﬁeld of design in the built environment sector.

The architecture profession in Malaysia is protected by law. The regulating and governing body of the architecture profession in

Malaysia is known as Lembaga Akitek Negara (LAM). They govern the entire profession starting from the definition of an architect under the Malaysian Constitution, licensing, practice, acts and enactments as well as education.

The other body that concerns the well being of architects themselves is Pertubuhan Akitek Malaysia.

The diagram above shows the career path of an architect. After graduating with Part 2, a person is known as an architect, and

: UCSI University architecture students are taught by qualified experienced industry professionals

will be able to practice according to the job specification of an architect. This should be the minimum target of anyone pursuing this profession. Anything less is a waste of time.

These qualifications can be obtained in two ways:

Obtaining a fully accredited degree (or equivalent) that carries Part 1 or 2 equivalent.
Sitting for individual exams after obtaining a non-accredited degree for Part or 2.

Part 3 can only be obtained after practicing as an architect for a minimum of 2 years and fulfilling all the project requirements set by LAM.
