“They are keen to know the type of programmes we offer, what the trending jobs today are and the future of jobs they are interested in.
“It’s commendable that they are serious about their future,” he said.
Engineering, business and information technology (IT) were among the most asked about programmes, Sri added.
Multimedia University marketing and communication division national marketing and enrolment manager Karen Tan Mei Lin said scholarships were a hot topic during the fair.
She said they also received enquiries about their popular courses such as IT, creative multimedia and law.
“I think IT is popular right now because we see a trend with artificial intelligence and augmented reality being in demand in the future,” she said.
