Background of Institution
THE UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM
The University of Nottingham is ranked in the UK's Top 10 and the World's Top 70
universities by the Shanghai Jiao Tong (SJTU) and Times Higher (THES) World
University Rankings.
It provides innovative and top quality teaching, undertakes world-changing
research, and attracts talented staff and students from 150 nations. Described
by The Times as Britain's "only truly global university", it has invested
continuously in award-winning campuses in the United Kingdom, China and
Malaysia. Twice since 2003 its research and teaching academics have won Nobel
Prizes. The University has won the Queen's Award for Enterprise in both 2006
(International Trade) and 2007 (Innovation — School of Pharmacy).
In the UK, the University is consistently ranked highly in the league tables for
Higher Education Institutions, published by The Guardian, The Times and The
Sunday Times. It was awarded “UK University of the Year” by The Times Higher
Awards 2006.
THE MALAYSIA CAMPUS
The University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus welcomed its first students in
September 2000. This development is a fundamental part of Nottingham’s vision to
become a truly global university for the 21st century and beyond.
The Malaysia Campus is a full and integral part of The University of Nottingham,
UK. It is led by senior academic staff seconded from Nottingham who ensure that
the standard of teaching is of the same high quality as its UK campuses. This
means that students receive a genuine Nottingham education from day one.
Faculty members, both at the UK and Malaysia Campus have a wide range of skills
and experience. A number have worked in industry, commerce, or the public
sector, before becoming academics; many are active consultants as well as
researchers and teachers. Teaching programmes are also enriched by input from
leading practitioners where appropriate.
What Makes Us Special?
At Nottingham, it is about “getting an education” rather than “getting a
degree”. This is what makes Nottingham unique and gives it what it refers to as
the 'Nottingham Edge' - an unrivalled combination of quality and excellence,
strength and pragmatism, enabled learning, boldness and innovation, respect and
tolerance.
The University aims to provide the best in UK education - innovative teaching
and assessment methods. Our programmes encourage self-development, where you are
encouraged to be independent, use initiative, and learn and explore new things.
In effect we provide you with the tools to learn and develop your skills rather
than simply training you to pass examinations and gain a degree. As a result,
Nottingham graduates are equipped not only for the world of work as they leave
university but also with the skills needed to go on developing in their careers
in the future.
The University offers an innovative modular course system, encouraging
flexibility and access to a wide range of subjects. Many of the first degrees
are modular - ideal for students wishing to study specific combinations of
subjects.
Global thinking is an integral part of life at Nottingham in a way that sets it
apart from most other universities. Study abroad is incorporated into many of
its courses and all students are encouraged to think internationally.
The student profile reflects Nottingham’s world-class status. On The
University’s campuses, you will find people from many nationalities, cultures
and educational backgrounds. In Malaysia, we currently have over 2800 students
from more than 50 countries - a stimulating diversity which adds even more to
the enjoyment of student life.
