CAREER COUNSELLING

[Faizan Muhammmad]

Hi Again! I don't know if you remember me but i posted a question here months back. I recently got my A Levels and it was a pretty good for me. But now i am attending a university here and i don't know which course to pick up but i finally decided on Mechatronics which is a combination of both Mechanical and Electronic Engineering instead of Computer Science. I know one thing that Computer Science have a masters and PH degrees (which i really want to have both PHD and Masters!) but i am very uncertain of the course i picked which is Mechatronics. I wanted to take my Masters abroad, most likely in Canada, but like i said i am very uncertain of my course having Masters degree too. Is there any way you can help me with this? Thank you!

I remember you

One thing that you need to know is that to do a masters or doctrate in a sub you dont need to have studied exactly the same one before
for example you can do MBA after you Bachelors in mechatronics and nobody would bat an eye

that said, you dont need to worry about that right now
Just as an example you could do bachelors in mechatronics then masters in aeronautics and a phd in aerodynamics (if you go to the aero industry)

Best of Luck

Hey,i recently got my o level results and am now planning on A levels.I have chosen maths,economics,chem,phy for a level and my main ambition is towards the business side like Bsc and mba from lums or if not then iba.Do you have any idea on requirements and preferences for lums?I had bio in o level but wanted to gain some knowledge about business so i chose eco.Will it have a better effect on my application.And on what grades can you easily get admission.I got 6A*2A in olevels(no bs or below alhamdullilah and As in Isl and Urdu.I gave science subjects along with maths and english) and my aim is to get at least 2A*s in a levels.Will these grades be good enough.And do you have any idea on the system in lums?Like in which major (management science and accounts and finance) is there more potential?Which of them is more preferred by companies.And what kinds of jobs to people who do Bsc or Mba from lums get,and whats the average pay?

Your results are great. CONGRATs. With these results and predicted grades you can easily get into LUMS. ALL application requirements are available on their website and you can go through them thoroughly. Yes, economics is a perfect choice for business students.

What are your interests. All majors carry equal weightage. It depends on your interests.

Yes there are courses available for these in Canada as well as in Germany and other countries, in many universities. Go through them on their postgraduate websites and you will find.

What do you mean by interests?What are the differences between ACF and management science?And do you have any idea,which major is preferred by more paying companies?

Every company has different requirements and they pay accordingly. Some companies prefer Chartered Accountants while others can't afford to get one. Moreover, some companies require consultants in the field of marketing or management etc. So it all depends on what career you want to pursue. If you really like accountancy then you can choose accountancy as major and then professional qualifications like CMA or CPA or ICAP. If you have enough skills to pursue a career in marketing then you can choose marketing as a major. Thus, it all depends on your interests. Somewhere a marketing professional is given higher status than an accountant and vice versa.

Hello again......so the subjects that were offered at my school were arranged in "option blocks"....First column had Chem, Accounting, Geo, AICT, Sociology, second column had Physics, Business, History, German and Drama, third column had Maths, Psychology, Literature, Art and Music and the final column had Bio, Econ and French.....I was meant to pick a subject per column....I'm thinking along the lines of Geo, Physics, Maths and French.....does that seem reasonable????

Jonathan Rubuubi What about Economics?

It depends on a person's perspective.

Apparently, one doesn't need Economics in A level to do it in Uni, a maths A level will suffice.....

Well, with that I believe this is OK because you have Maths as well as Physics with an addition of a language!!!!! That sounds #PERFECT

Hi sateeshkumar engineering has a lot of options. As you don't like physics you may either go for chemical engineering or petroleum/minerals engineering.

hi there, don't think I gave you my results summary in full when I asked about unis like Mcmaster, British Colombia...... I got 2A*s ,5As, 1B,1C, 1D.....got the D in ICT and C in maths, of which I plan maths resits.....do my results form a good basis to target a top uni in Canada, also, does my C in maths count against me, or can that be negated by a better performance in A level?
