摘要：This survey study was conducted to identify the knowledge of students in the Malay Language and Linguistics program on the potential and career opportunities in their field of study. A set of questionnaires was distributed to the study sample consisting of fifth semester students, a total of 63 people. However, for the purpose of writing this paper, only findings from open -ended questions, i.e. occupations in the field of Malay language known to the study sample are discussed. In addition, this data is supported by the results of interviews of 27 students who have done voluntarily. Overall, the sample studied has not been exposed to the potential and career opportunities in the field of Malay language widely. This is evident when most students know only four careers. In fact, there are those in the sample who admit that they do not know it and after graduation, just accept whatever career they get. In addition, there are among the sample who list careers that are not related to the field of language and not suitable for their level of study such as journalists/lawyers, literary, elected representatives, librarians, teachers, lecturers, administrative officers, tour guides and interpreters. As a result, only five types of careers were found suitable, namely as writers, translators, publishers and editors, linguists/language researchers and careers at Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP).
