Master of Architecture

Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM)

Program overview

The Master of Architecture program at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia is a professional degree that corresponds to the Board of Architects Malaysia Part II qualification. It builds upon the foundation laid in the Bachelor of Science in Architecture program at UTM, which corresponds to the Board of Architects Malaysia Part I. This taught course program features a structured curriculum with a strong focus on research-based architectural design studio projects. This approach fosters an intellectual and theoretical framework for addressing architectural projects while contributing to sustainable development within the national context. The program complements the technical, scientific, and technological aspects already integrated into the courses. Recognized by the Board of Architects Malaysia (LAM), Malaysian Institute of Architects (PAM), and the Public Services Department (JPA), UTM's architecture program is the first in the country to be acknowledged by PAM and LAM. The preceding three-year Bachelor of Science in Architecture program is accredited for LAM Part I, and the two-year Master of Architecture program is accredited for Part II.
