On 7 May 2026, we celebrated a special night dedicated just for the University of Nottingham Malaysia’s sponsors and alumni scholars.
Organised by the Sponsorship and Alumni Relations teams, the UNM Sponsors’ Appreciation Dinner 2026 was held at Hilton Kuala Lumpur and attended by our esteemed sponsors—such as MARA, Petronas, and JPA—as well as alumni scholars across various cohorts.
The event had kicked off with a heartfelt welcome address by UNM’s Provost and CEO, Professor David FitzPatrick.
We then welcomed the esteemed En. Ahmad Munir, the General Manager for Education Sponsorship, Programme Management & TVET Excellence at Petronas, for his speech.
Before the dinner commenced, we had presented the 25 Years of UNM video for the audience to see the growth we have experienced as a university, and the achievements we have garnered over the past quarter of a century.
