ABOUT UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM :
Studying at Nottingham is an experience that goes far beyond traditional lectures. A flexible approach to teaching combines established teaching methods, such as tutorials, with interactive and web-based methods. Facilities from lecture theatres to laboratories are continually modernised and upgraded to provide the very best in up-to-date teaching facilities.

The University's modular course system provides a flexible range of self-contained study units which allows students to study the combination of subjects that suits them best. Each student is allocated their own personal tutor to help with personal and academic issues. A taste of the 'real world' is provided on many degree courses through presentations and lectures from visiting speakers from industry.

International Students will find additional support for the issues they face through the International Office. For those studying in the UK for the first time, there is an intensive four-week course held every September which helps students make the most of their stay in the UK. The Welcome Programme runs just before the academic year begins and provides a programme of activities to help international students settle in to university life. The Students' Union provides additional support through their International Student

INTERNATIONAL STUDENT :
The University of Nottingham is a popular choice for international students, with over 6,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students from over 130 different countries. The University is committed to providing the best possible support to all international students from their first enquiry, to their arrival at Nottingham, and through their entire time here.

The International Office is the first point of contact for international students. A dedicated team of staff can advise on a whole range of issues from eligibility for courses, to the application process, to the practicalities of getting to and living in the UK. A key point in the international students' calendar is the Welcome Week, organised by the International Office, to help students settle in and find their way around the University's many resources.

In addition to the services provided by the International Office, international students can also access other student support such as the Centre for English Language Education which runs courses to help students improve their English skills and Academic Support which helps students develop their academic and writing skills. The International Office will also provide information about how international students can access services such as healthcare, childcare and banking.

International students will also find a warm welcome from the student body. The International Students' Bureau provides many social activities and organises the annual International Evening, a night of music, drama and dance which brings the whole of the university community together. The Students' Union has over 150 different clubs and societies, many of which are focused on particular national or cultural groups, which all add to the range of opportunities to make new friends.

ACCOMMODATION :
Free advice on finding accommodation on and off campus is provided through Nottingham Hospitality. University accommodation provides over 6,000 rooms, owned by the University or provided by external developers, all close to the campuses and ranging from modern self-catering flats to traditional halls of residence.

In 2001, the University set a target of providing an additional 4,000 bed-spaces by September 2006, a programme which is well underway.

The self-catering student villages combine an independent lifestyle with a close-knit student community. There are over 2,000 self-catering places available in purpose-built flats, each housing four to seven students, across three sites. Each flat has its own study bedroom; kitchen and bathroom facilities are shared. Self-catering sites are owned by external developers who work in close partnership with Accommodation Services to ensure that the flats meet their high standards.

Catered halls of residence provide a more 'home from home' service. 15 halls, accommodating around 4,000 students across the University Park, Jubilee and Sutton Bonington campuses, are owned and managed by the University. Three meals a day are provided as part of the accommodation fee with a varied menu that caters for a range of dietary requirements.

University accommodation features rooms on each campus that are accessible to students with disabilities, including larger rooms for extra storage or work space, adapted bathrooms and facilities for those with hearing impairments.

Accommodation Services can help find accommodation for students who have specific requirements such as those with a partner or family. University housing is limited but links with local estate agents mean that a range of family accommodation is available through the private sector.

UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM - 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. It is the first ever branch campus of a UK University abroad, earning the University the distinction of the Queen's Award for Enterprise in the field of international achievement, the first award of its kind to an academic institution.

The Malaysia Campus is a full and integral part of The University of Nottingham, UK and offers students the Nottingham experience in a Asean setting. It is a global institution serving an international community of students and yet is firmly rooted in all that is distinctive about UK education - innovative teaching and assessment methods, which encourage independent, creative thinking. Quality standards are also among the best in the world.

At the Malaysia Campus, foundation, undergraduate and postgraduate programmes have been successfully implemented since its inception in 2000, and continue to be developed to reflect the research and scholarship of The University of Nottingham. Currently, the Malaysia Campus offers programmes in Applied Psychology, Biotechnology, Business and Management, Computer Science and Information Technology, Education, Engineering, Law and Pharmacy.

For all our programmes, the whole degree can be completed in Malaysia. Alternatively, students may like to consider studying part of their degree in the UK either on our mobility scheme or direct transfer to UK. Details of these can be obtained from the relevant Admissions Tutor.
