Hi,
I am currently studying my City & Guilds : Diploma in Automotive, but I was wondering, upon graduating, what job can I apply for in Malaysia

Anyone can suggest?
*
Definitely YES!
C&G is such a famous & quality institute

It depends on your expertise. It likes your are going to study in mechanical field, in the future you can join in factory production line.

Erm...any other answers?

Automotive is a big field, not just mechanics and all.

I meant working in mechanical field but not becoming a mechanic. smile.gif

I think (no sure) the course which you are going to take is more related with technical line. For mechanical engineers, they learn more about theories, calculations and designing. Mechanical covers very wide field such as machine, robot, structure, fluid etc. Can you list out the study subjects ?

I called up City and Guilds Malaysia previously to clarify about this name ,cause I didn'[t like the name sounding, and they said that this is truly an Automotive Engineering course, although the subjects and name sounds so technical.

For this course, my lecturer told me that a student can take 3 additional,optional items which is Maths,Electronics and Science (can't remember clearly) and it can lead to degree in either Business or Mechanical or any other Degree whichever university accepts it.

The courses listed are under technical category. I am a local u graduate,so I only can give opinions from what I know. I suggest you to ask about the title of graduation that you will be honored. Do you take "Engineering Maths" and "Mechanical Engineering" ?

As what others said, your expertise is quite specific into automotive fixing/repair/maintenance/servicing. Those kind of jobs are usually done by mechanics. Since world develops so fast that today's mechanics are necessary to be educated. People like what RoxyGal said will be replaced by new educated batch soon.

A develop country like Malaysia needs a lot of resources in its production and servicing line. The career opportunity for automotive is available but not much. For nowadays Malaysia market, knowledge in machine maintenance is still among the most popular technical job requirement. You can try to take extra study into hydraulic and pneumatic system because many machines run by them.

I was just wondering if I could use my Diploma in Automotive to apply for Degree later...just like my lecturer he said that he used his Diploma (the same one that I am studying), to apply for his Business Degree.

I have to remind you one thing here. If you are good in technical work, you better stick with it. Mechanical engineering is suitable for people who are good in Physics and Maths calculation and basically it is more to think how to design and problem solving. The study will involve difficult Maths calculations.

Sadly in Malaysia today, most engineers can't be specific in what they had learned. When they (mechanical engineers) work, their jobs are related to management and executive. In fact, this happens to other field of engineers (chemistry, civil and E&E)

In your case, if you can master both technical and engineering knowledge by getting a degree later, you will definitely have more advantages than other graduates, to get high paid salary job.

I find my own strenght is in technical aspect, but kinda suck at Maths let alone Physics.

Good. Keep on effort in technical aspect and you will definitely do well.
