"Studying nutrition at the University of Nottingham Malaysia was such a rewarding experience. The program didn’t just teach me the science behind nutrition it also challenged me to think critically and apply my knowledge in real-world settings. My final year research project really helped me refine my research skills and made me appreciate the depth of nutrition science even more. Looking back, I can confidently say that this program shaped me into the nutritionist I am today."

" Studying Environmental Science at UNM has been an immense privilege, with the programme going beyond teaching students about the processes shaping our planet by emphasising our potential to make an impact, and including views from different disciplines. Being multidisciplinary in my programme, along with the encouragement of academic staff, has helped me to find my niche. At UNM, I combined my two main interests: communications and sustainability. I started the School’s first student-led social media team. My time at UNM shaped my curiosity into purpose, equipping me with the necessary skills, life-long connections, and the confidence to make a difference."

" I'm blessed to have always known what I wanted to do ever since I was a young boy. That is to study nature. Doing my bachelors in Environmental Science in UNM was the best thing to ever happen to me. The courses were holistic, looking into the environment, economy, and society. The class sizes were just right, where lecturers were attentive to all of us. The field work was amazing, where I had the opportunity to explore islands and forest ecosystems. The wide open green spaces on campus also allowed me to explore and apply what I learned from the classes."
