The University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus Sdn Bhd 诺丁汉大学（马来西亚分校） is a franchise of the University of Nottingham. The university is situated in Semenyih, Hulu Langat District, Selangor, Malaysia. The university has been ranked as "excellent" or tier 5 in a scale of tier 1-6 and is classified as a private institution, by the Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education. The Malaysia campus was the first campus of a British university in Malaysia and one of the first to open outside Britain thus earning the distinction of the Queen's Awards for Enterprise 2001 and the Queen's Award for Industry (International Trade) 2006. The University of Nottingham's other overseas campus is in Ningbo, China.
The Malaysia campus was established in 2000 when the first batch of students were enrolled, students were then taught in a rented building. The idea for the university to open a foreign branch was suggested as early as 1992. It is the first purpose-built UK university campus in a foreign country. Formerly, the university was known as the University of Nottingham in Malaysia or UNMC.
The campus' incumbent chairman is Ahmad Rithauddeen, an honorary Nottingham graduate and former Malaysian Defence Minister. The present campus at Semenyih was officially opened by then Deputy Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak, an alumnus himself, on 26 September 2005. The campus was made possible by a consortium of partners which includes the Lembaga Tabung Angkatan Tentera or Armed Forces Superannuation Fund (LTAT) via its subsidiary Boustead Holdings Bhd, YTL Corporation Bhd and the University of Nottingham and the Alumni Association. The University operates as a private company called The University of Nottingham in Malaysia Sdn Bhd. where Boustead Holdings Bhd has the majority shareholding.
