British university in Asian setting
SEVERAL thousand students from Malaysia have studied at The University of Nottingham, United Kingdom, since it gained university status in 1948. Currently, there are more than 550 students from Malaysia studying at the university.
Many prominent members of Malaysian society are among the university’s distinguished graduates, including the Sultan of Perak, the late Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negri Sembilan, former ministers and business and industry leaders.
The University of Nottingham’s campus in Malaysia was the first international campus established by a British university and the campus will celebrate its 15th year of operation next year.
The Malaysia campus is both an expression of the university’s special relationship with Malaysia and a direct response to the Malaysian government‘s plans to establish the country as a centre of excellence for higher education for the region and beyond.
The Malaysia campus is a full and integral part of The University of Nottingham, UK, and offers students the Nottingham experience in an Asian setting. It is part of a global institution serving an international community of students and yet is firmly rooted in all that is distinctive about British education – innovative teaching and assessment methods, independent, creative and critical thinking and an emphasis on the development of interpersonal skills.
Quality standards are also among the best in the world. At the same time, it is a Malaysian institution and is fully integrated and engaged with the higher education community of Malaysia.
The Malaysia campus offers a wide range of courses in the areas of engineering, computer science and information technology, business and management, pharmacy, plant biotechnology, environmental science, nutrition, international communications and international relations, education, applied psychology, biomedical science, economics and English language and applied linguistics.
In total, 17 UK campus schools and departments have a presence at the Malaysia campus.
The University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus will be hosting an Open Day Carnival on March 29 at its main campus in Semenyih.
