The University of Nottingham Malaysia was the first campus of British university in Malaysia, serves global community and set to further enrich on-campus diversity
IN high demand globally for their well-developed interpersonal and technical skills, University of Nottingham Malaysia (UNM) graduates receive world-class education and industry engagement not just in its UK campus but also in Malaysia and China.
According to UNM Faculty of Science and Engineering interim dean Prof Ir Dr Law Chung Lim, one of the main reasons students pick UNM is the wide range of teaching and learning facilities available on its 50ha campus, just 45 minutes south of Kuala Lumpur.
“We offer our students the opportunity to work with the latest machines, equipment and technology during their lab sessions, compared to many universities which require students to share facilities because of the lack of space or availability of these tools.
“It is important for our science and engineering students to develop their proficiency and this is what our industry partners look out for.
“We also work with leading employers so that students can appreciate the real-life experience through internships and this provides them the edge to secure employment in leading organisations,” he said.
‘'It is important for our science and engineering students to develop their proficiency and this is what our industry partners look out for,’ said Law.
Prof Law added that UNM graduates receive career guidance from the specialised careers advisory service office to enhance their employment opportunities.
Graduates are hired through careers fairs, employer recruitment talks, on-campus interviews, sector-focused careers events, and resume collection for employers.
UNM is committed to ensuring that all facilities on campus meet international standards as its residential experience differentiates it from other universities. Aside from teaching and learning, campus life and activities are as important to ensure students develop their interpersonal skills.
“The university is constantly responsive towards the needs of the students, and now as students return to face-to-face lectures, all our teaching and learning facilities and staff have shifted gears to receive them.
“The investment also involves high-performance computing, lecture room facilities, 3G pitch playgrounds and food processing laboratories,” said Prof Law.
UNM offers range of laboratories for research and learning facilities with expertise in every field
The Science and Engineering faculty is student-centred by having its students equally involved in decision-making – covering various aspects related to extra-curricular and learning activities.
The university also provides a world-class education through international learning experiences such as the opportunity to go on exchange or transfer to the UK campus – a popular option with students as they can choose from a range of other top universities through its Universitas21 network.
