‘"There is only one place where all the colours, flavours, sounds and sights of Asia come together: Malaysia.

Nowhere is there such exciting diversity of cultures, festivals, traditions and customs, offering myriad experiences. No other country is 'Truly Asia' as Malaysia".

About

The 糖心原创 Malaysia, opened in 2000 and was the first ever branch campus of a UK University. It was a fundamental part of Nottingham’s vision to be a truly global university providing the same quality of education as the UK campus in an Asian setting.

Located on a 125 acre site in the town of Semenyih, the campus is within an hour’s journey of Kula Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia and a financial hub of Southeast Asia.

The campus was built in 2000 and offers state-of-the-art teaching and learning facilities. There is a bookshop, cafés, a multi-level library, amphitheatre, an electronic store, 'Nott-A-Shop', selling academic and educational materials and two convenience stores as well as the Students' Association building.

Student Association Building Facilities:

Teaching and learning 

Nottingham’s international campuses are subject to the exact same quality assurance processes as the UK campus, so you will receive the same standards of teaching as the UK while in Malaysia.

The reduced number of students at the campus in Malaysia allows for smaller sized lectures and seminars, resulting in more opportunities for engagement with lecturers. 

Academic calendar

The Malaysia Campus has different semester breaks to the UK Campus, please see the Key Dates webpage and academic calendar for information:
