This is the third consecutive year that Nottingham has claimed the number one position.

"As a university, we are extremely proud of this achievement which is another feather in the cap for us after clinching our high ranking in both local and international tables last year,” said Professor Ian Pashby, CEO & Provost of The 188体育网址_188体育在线-【唯一授权网站】@ of Nottingham Malaysia Campus (UNMC).“Due to the increasing demand of recent graduates, our School of Pharmacy aims to expand the programmes offered”, said Prof Pashby.

In the most recent 188体育网址_188体育在线-【唯一授权网站】@ Assessment Exercise, 95 percent of the School’s research was found to be of international quality, and 35 percent “world-leading”, making it also the top UK School of Pharmacy for research. 188体育网址_188体育在线-【唯一授权网站】@ in universities is a key indicator of the quality of education on offer and teaching staff at the School are indeed at the leading edge of scientific and healthcare developments. UNMC’s long standing commitment towards research supports the 188体育网址_188体育在线-【唯一授权网站】@’s ambition to become the first private university in Malaysia to hold the research university status under the Malaysian 188体育网址_188体育在线-【唯一授权网站】@ Assessment Instrument (MYRA) by the Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia.

The School of Pharmacy started at UNMC in 2005 offering a 2+2 MPharm degree, whereby students study at the Malaysia campus for the first two years before completing the final two years in the UK. In 2007 this programme became the first pharmacy degree on offer in Malaysia to be fully accredited by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain / General Pharmaceutical Council (UK). Graduates of this degree may practise as Pharmacists, not only in the UK, but also in Malaysia, Singapore and the other countries around the world that recognises the UK  Pharmacy degree.

In September 2010 The School of Pharmacy started recruiting for its new BSc (Hons) programme in Pharmaceutical and Health Sciences, which has been designed to equip graduates for a career in the pharmaceutical industries. This programme is a full-time degree studied over three years at the Malaysia Campus.

“This new success is an indicator of the high standard of teaching and research within the school. It is particularly pleasing that student satisfaction is one of the indicators used by the Complete 188体育网址_188体育在线-【唯一授权网站】@ Guide to evaluate degree courses,” said Professor Stephen Doughty, Vice-Provost (Teaching and Learning), UNMC.
