The University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus: Study in the Top 1% of Universities Worldwide*

The University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus (UNMC) opened in September 2000 and became the first British university to set up a campus both outside of the UK and in Malaysia, earning The University of Nottingham the Queen’s Award for Enterprise 2001 and the Queen’s Award for Industry (international Trade) 2006.

In September 2005, the Malaysia Campus moved to its own purpose-built site in Semenyih, 30 kilometers south of Kuala Lumpur. Designed to reflect University Park Campus in Nottingham, it is a self-contained, self-sufficient village situated on an attractive 125- acre site. UNMC has over 4,500 students and around 570 teaching and administrative staff from all over the world.

Foundation, undergraduate and postgraduate courses and research courses at UNMC are taught within 17 schools and departments across the faculties of arts and social sciences, engineering and science. UNMC graduates are highly sought after, with 92% employed or in further study six months after graduation – one of the highest graduate employment rates in Malaysia.

A REPUTATION FOR EXCELLENCE

The University of Nottingham is proud of its international reputation for world-changing research, which extends across all of its campuses. Research at UNMC has a particular focus on addressing the challenges facing Southeast Asia and countries in the Islamic world. Over the last few years, research capacity has developed rapidly and an increased number of research grants have been funded from various sources in Malaysia, the EU and the UK, with research funding totalling nearly RM12 million in 2013.

The Malaysian Qualifications Agency has granted UNMC self-accrediting status, one of only a limited number of universities to be granted such an accolade. In 2011, UNMC once more retained its Tier 5 Excellent status in the SETARA rating exercise for Malaysian higher education institutions – again confirming its place among the best universities in Malaysia.
