Once students have completed their studies, they will have the opportunity to work with renowned marques under the Group, such as PROTON, Honda, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Isuzu, Volkswagen, MODENAS and even DEFTECH.
Scholarships worth RM52 million on offer
Partial and full scholarships are also available for qualified students who enroll within October and November. The scholarship programme is expected to benefit more than 3,700 students nationwide.
DRB-HICOM University vice-chancellor and Chief Executive Officer, Prof Dato’ Sr. Dr. Omar Osman says deserving students can apply for the scholarship to relieve some of the financial burdens of their families.
“We are now giving away scholarships worth up to RM52 million to benefit deserving students.
The scholarship programme is part of the University’s efforts in creating a formidable workforce for the automotive sectors, not just in the country, but also for the region.
It is the University’s hope that the scholarships offered would act as a human capital catalyst, whereby more
individuals would take advantage of the programmes and pursue their studies at the University,” he said.

Students can register for the Undergraduate programmes between now and November 4, while registration for Foundation and Postgraduate programmes will run between 3 and 18 November.
