8 University strategy- teaching “One of our top priorities is to further internationalise our curriculum” Expand and enhance the teaching at the campuses in China and Malaysia and increase their student populations. UNNC Expand mathematics, economics and the sciences Introduce additional postgraduate taught courses Increase the proportion of postgraduates to 18% UNMC Develop undergraduate courses in the arts and humanities, the sciences and economics Expand the range of master’s courses offered.

9 MSc in Environmental Monitoring and Management Started in 2011 and takes elements from two UNUK MSc programmes in Environmental Management and Geographical Information Sciences School of Geography at UNMC

12 School of Pharmacy “We generally do try and replicate the UK T&L activities but this isn’t always possible. For example, one lab class used codeine which we couldn’t easily obtain and use in Malaysia so that activity had to be replaced with something which covered the same learning outcomes.” Andrew Morris (Head of School)

13 School of Pharmacy “We’ve been through quite an extensive course redesign process over the last couple of years and UNMC staff have contributed in many ways to this process. We are now starting to see more and more UNMC staff producing material which is then delivered by our UK colleagues. It’s still relatively small numbers of lectures at the moment, but I’m hoping that this will increase so that the flow is not so unidirectional.” Andrew Morris (Head of School)

14 University strategy- Research Invest strategically in the research infrastructure across all our campuses Increase the size and proportion of our postgraduate population across all campuses to 25% Achieve a research profile at our campuses in Asia in key areas comparable to that of the Nottingham campus. Expand research capacity at the China and Malaysia campuses in a way that takes advantage of Nottingham’s strengths while responding to their national and regional priorities. Enhance the research environments at both campuses in Asia.
