I think you'll know when you pay your tuition fee. You got to go through the admins anyway.

Yeah.

Long duration. Rent for working stay.

I'm guessing the Administration. Our ID photo.

In Notts Malaysia I think the Uni told before hand to the engineers. That's how I got to know why some wanna do 4th year.

All,



See below for details but I am delighted to announce that UNMC was rated as EXCELLENT in the recent Malaysian University Ratings. No University was rated higher. Once again we have external endorsement of our quality, quality that depends upon the hard work of all our staff and all our students.

Nottingham awarded ‘excellent’ rating in Malaysia



The University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus (UNMC) has been rated ‘excellent’ in a national assessment of teaching and learning.



The Rating System for Malaysian Higher Education – known as Setara – ranks UNMC among the elite in its latest report. No other institution in the country received a higher rating.



By confirming both the quality of teaching and learning at UNMC, and the calibre of its graduates, it underlines the University’s place in the premier league of higher education in Malaysia.



Institutions winning ‘excellent’ or ‘Tier Five’ status receive extra incentives such as being able to enrol local and foreign government sponsored students, having access to government grants and determining their postgraduate student intake. They are also eligible for ‘research university’ status.



Professor Ian Pashby, Provost and Chief Executive Officer at UNMC, said “This latest accolade highlights again that the University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus provides only the highest quality of education provision and I am delighted with the outcome of this Setara exercise.



“It is through the hard work and commitment of our exceptional staff and the quality of our students that we can maintain our position as an elite provider of international education.”



Each of Malaysia’s 58 public and private universities were assessed by inspectors in five key areas: governance, physical and financial resources, talent, curriculum, and quality of graduates.



Higher Education Minister, Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin, announced the Setara outcome and added that Tier Five private institutions would also be exempted from certain provisions of the Private Higher Educational Institutions Act 1996.



This means institutions have flexibility and exemptions in applying for teaching permits for lecturers, can determine the salary of foreign lecturers, and have the freedom to set tuition fees.



Professor Stephen Doughty, Vice-Provost for Teaching and Learning at UNMC, said: “This latest accolade follows the recent conferment of Self-Accrediting Status on the University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus by the Ministry of Higher Education, which highlighted the quality of UNMC’s teaching and learning, and granted UNMC the power to approve and accredit its own degree programmes.”



UNMC was granted Self-Accrediting Status by the Malaysian government in May 2010.



This latest indicator of quality comes in a special year for the institution – 2010 is the tenth anniversary of the launch of the University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus. The 125-acre site, near the capital Kuala Lumpur, is now home to 3,600 students from more than 70 nations.



All UNMC students study in English, for University of Nottingham degrees that are taught and assessed in the same way as those in Nottingham UK.



Nottingham took a pioneering role in 2000 when it became the first British university to open a campus overseas, building on a strong and longstanding relationship with Malaysia. The parkland campus in Semenyih takes its design cues from University Park, Nottingham – with a signature lakeside building which echoes the UK’s Trent Building.

Well that goes without saying of course But you can opt to do it or not given the qualification is not an issue.

I don't get it either, till the engineers enlightened me about it. I find it pretty screwed up. You don't do 4th year, it won't be recognized here. Like wtf.

Yes.

That's the sad part, anywhere else recognised besides Malaysia (and a few others).

I don't think so lol. Somehow it felt like it's there to 'protect' local graduates.

Then I really don't get it also. Why wouldn't they recognise a UK recognised programme?

There's no need for accreditation for other courses that is not engineering right?

Edit: Nvm just found out CS is accredited by BCS lol

You'd be surprised on how much they look at privacy invasion on THEIR OWN side, but not our side.

Either:

University Bus

or

Taxi.

Take your pick.

Lol yesterday graduation was tiring. @_@

Walking distance means student accommodation in campus lor. No where else already.

For what's worth:

It is from xkcd, if you check the link Haha.

Quite true right? I lol'd when I saw that today. And yea the navigation of the website ain't that friendly also.

I wanna look for some stuffs back then gotta dig high and low.

Lol I take the rankings with a pinch of salt. Rankings alone can't tell how good the university is compared to others, though it does provide some light in certain aspects.

At least I don't.
