Priscilla Lim Yin Pheng

BA(Hons) Business Economics and Management (2009), Graduate Teaching Assistant/PhD Candidate in UNMC

I believe the course offered by UoN was unique in that very often, the materials taught in the classroom was not limited to theoretical concepts but as students, we were encouraged to question these concepts and their applicability to the real world. More than that, assignments and examinations required us to critically assess the subject content and apply them to real business situations, a skill which I found to be very helpful during my internship at Bank Negara Malaysia.

Presently, I am pursuing a PhD in the area of Financial Economics while working as a Graduate Teaching Assistant in UoN. The delivery of the modules at UoN which encourages a lot of independent study and inquisition prepared me very well for a career in research. Doing research is not an easy task as it requires a lot of self-motivation and initiative which are values that have been regularly instilled in NUBS students.

MEng (Hons) Mechatronic Engineering , Scholarship holders of the Chinese Independent Schools (UEC) Scholarship.

" I am so grateful to get sponsored by the scholarship to let me pursue my course in University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus.
Mechatronic Engineering is basically a professional discipline which combines the knowledge in Electrical and Electronic as well as Mechanical Engineering. It provides the opportunity for me to obtain the most understandings in multi-disciplined, mechatronic related field as well as some business and management skills. The multi-cultural environment in this campus implicitly engages me into an international level.It definitely gives me the chance to well-equip myself before I graduate working in the tough and volatile environment outside. The lecturers here are all very experienced and able to guide us to obtain the self-learning skill so that be more aggressive in learning rather than just be apassive learner. I believe that it would benefit me when I go for post-study or work.

I do really enjoy the campus facilities such as the sports complex and jogging track. I play badminton, basketball with my friends or jog and swim when I feel stressed. I also used to climb the nearby Broga Hill during weekend. I joined the Outdoor Club, Wall Street Society and Robotic Club. It enrich my university life! "

Kim Ga Hee, Korea

Master of Pharmacy 2 + 2 Years

I do really enjoy this course. This course is not just about drugs and medicines but also professional skills. During the professional skill class, we learn how to communicate with people and how to express ourselves in front of many audiences through presentations. I am sure it is going to help me in my career as a pharmacist.

The best part about my course is laboratory work. I do love practical, especially during dispensary work. I get to dispense lots of drugs and it feels as if I have become a real pharmacist. Nottingham’s pharmacy course has prepared me with all these opportunities.

BEng (Hons) Chemical Engineering with Environmental Engineering, 3 Years

I enjoy the environmental part of my course most as it involves ways I can contribute towards a sustainable environment like recycling, reducing or reusing of waste, waste water treatment, energy efficiency and sustainability, environmental impact assessment, etc.

I have made some amazing friends for life and have enjoyed my time here more than I thought I would and I’m still enjoying the social activities that the student association in the university of Nottingham provides. I have a huge network with every opportunity that I could ask for. Currently, I am the president of the Association and I am loving it. The Chemical engineering department here is fantastic as well; the academics are responsive to feedback from us as students and are dedicated to teaching us all the better qualities of being both a chemical engineer and environmental engineer.
