TOC to expand overseas student exchange programme

Following a successful partnership with Ajou Motor College (AMC) in Korea, Malaysia’s The Otomotif College (TOC) is seeking to expand its overseas student exchange programme with leading specialist automotive colleges in Europe and even South Africa in the near future.

“We believe that this programme is invaluable in providing our students with a crucial competitive edge – a world view and exposure to different cultures and environments through up-close interaction with their peers from other countries. About 15% of our student population come from other countries, providing further opportunities for cross-cultural exchange,” he said.

TOC played host to a delegation of 20 first-year students from AMC recently, the second visit by the Korean college in two years. According to delegation head, Professor Jie Myoung Seok, AMC has a vibrant international exchange programme with colleges in Australia, Canada, China, England, Japan, Kazakhstan, Malaysia and New Zealand.

“We decided to partner with TOC in Malaysia as it came highly recommended as the country’s top automotive college and we share the same vision. Our students benefitted greatly from exposure to TOC’s state-of-the-art teaching equipment such as the CAN-Bus system and impressive fleet of vehicles of various makes,” he said.
