Welcome to the Careers Advisory Service (CAS), University of Nottingham Malaysia!

CAS offers various support and services to support the students throughout their career development journey and guide them in identifying their strengths and interests, exploring suitable jobs and industries, and making decisions for their future career path. 

From the beginning, we would advise the students to begin thinking about their career pathways starting from the first year itself. CAS uses a systematic Career Development Roadmap to help students acquire self-awareness, explore career path and get ready for the future world of work.
