2023 MPU Structure
All students (Malaysian, International and Malaysian citizens) are mandatory to enrol, undertake, complete and pass the General Studies modules (formerly known as Compulsory Subjects)* before they graduate. This is a precondition for the award of degrees in Private Higher Educational Institutions (PHEI) under the Private Higher Educational Institutions Act 1996 (Act 555). As a private higher educational institution, University of Nottingham Malaysia (UNM) is subject to PHEI regulations effective 1 September 2013 (Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Education Malaysia Administrative Circular JPT / GS1000-606 JLD.1 (30) dated 22 July 2013).
*IMPORTANT NOTE: All NEW students (starting from September 2023 INTAKE) enrolling for their Undergraduate studies in UNM will be required to enrol, undertake, complete and pass all the assigned modules in the NEW MPU structure**.
