World-changingresearch

Laboratory technician working on concretebeam testing equipment, Malaysia Campus.

At The University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus thescope of research projects taking place is impressive andspans all our faculties and disciplines. We have an interestin undertaking research that is relevant to our host country,Malaysia, and our research priority areas cover aerospace,Autism, business innovation and productivity, communicationsand cultures, cross-cultural occupational health, drugdiscovery and delivery, food and bioproduct processing, greentechnologies, intelligent computation, nanotechnology andadvanced materials, post-harvest biotechnology, renewableenergy and sustainable crops.

Our particular strength in sustainable crops is highlighted bythe establishment of the Crops for the Future Research Centre,a joint venture hosted by The University of Nottingham MalaysiaCampus and Bioversity International.

www.nottingham.ac.uk/globalfoodsecurity/cropsforthefuture

Our position amongst other UK institutions is unique. We areable to call upon a very strong research base in UK and Chinabut we also have the opportunity to carry out leading-edgeresearch which is simply not possible in the UK. The Universityis dedicated to attracting and retaining the highest calibre ofstaff, and maintain the high qual ity of its facilities and resources all the attributes which have p laced Nottingham as one of theworlds top ranking universities.

Engaging with businessTo foster and encourage business and industry access toUniversity of Nottingham knowledge and research expertisewe have formed two companies, MyRIAD (Malaysia ResearchInnovation and Development Solutions) and MyResearch.These companies focus on training, commercialisation andconsultancy with an objective of exploiting the world leadingresearch that is carried out at UNMC, as well as providingtraining to a wide range of stakeholders. Through our extensivenational and international networks and with our range ofadvanced specialist knowledge in a la rge number of fields,

MyRIAD and MyResearch have the ability to capitalise ona unique combination of business acumen and technicalexpertise that is unavailable to any other university in Malaysia.

www.nottingham.edu.my/research

Nottingham is internationally renownedfor its world-changing and award-winningresearch. In Malaysia, the University isutilising the unique environment to undertakeinternationally leading research that willnot only have an impact nationally but willinfluence and inform many disciplines globally.

For our students this means that teaching and learning

opportunities are directly informed by cutting-edge research.Course activities are enriched by guest lectures fromvisiting scholars, research seminars, workshops and studentconferences. Classes are led by tutors who are activelyinvolved in extending the boundaries of our knowledge,and who seek to promote a community of learning in whichundergraduate and graduate teaching feeds directly into acollective and collaborative intellectual endeavour. This isparticularly important in the final years of undergraduate study,when students often undertake their own research projectsand dissertations under the supervision of individual membersof staff. Many use this experience as a springboard for furtherstudy and research at The University of Nottingham and otherworld-leading research universities. Still more find this leadsdirectly into career and employment opportunities.

Malaysia is operating within anemerging economy, backed bya government with a desire totranslate high-quality research intoreal, long lasting benefits for thesociety and the economy. At UNMCwe aim to play our full part in this

economic transformation.Working with our colleagues inthe UK and China, we welcomethe challenge of making a majorand lasting impact on the social,political and cultural developmentsin Malaysia, as well as Asia.
