The University's 101 acre (0.4 km2) campus is situated in Semenyih at Selangor state, 30 km South of Kuala Lumpur costing over RM120million (U$D33million). The majority shareholder of University of Nottingham in Malaysia Sdn Bhd is Boustead Group. It was officially opened by Najib Tun Razak (Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia on 26 September 2005 and an alumnus.) The University was previously situated in the heart of Kuala Lumpur in the Wisma MISC building on Jalan Conlay, and a presence is still retained at the central Kuala Lumpur location. Currently, as of 2009, the university has around 2900 students with a large number of foreign students from over 50 different countries. The campus has grown considerably since the official opening in 2005, with construction of a new Research Building, Teaching Building, 2 Accommodation Blocks and expansion of the Student Association Building. The Malaysia Campus offers courses in Computer Science, Engineering, Business, Communications, Law and Pharmacy, Applied Psychology, Civil Engineering, Education and Plant Bio-Technology. Upon completing a degree at the Malaysia campus, students are awarded a University of Nottingham degree certificate which is indistinguishable from the certificates awarded at the Nottingham campus. The degrees that are awarded are accredited by international professional bodies such as the Association of MBA's and the UK Engineering Council. Apart from taught undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, the university also offers a full range of projects available for research-based postgraduate studies leading either to MPhil or PhD. More than 20 research programmes are currently being carried out at the Malaysia Campus. |
