Overview

The University of Southampton Malaysia allows students to study for a world-class engineering degree at a fraction of the cost. Courses offered include specialisation in engineering areas such as Aeronautics and Astronautics, Electrical and Electronic Engineering plus Mechanical Engineering.

Students can spend their first two years studying at the safe, modern campus in EduCity, Iskandar before finalising their studies with two years at Southampton’s thriving UK campus at just 60% of the cost of studying entirely in the UK. The Malaysia campus is designed for effective learning, offering full access to resources and providing a unique opportunity to study a top engineering course in Malaysia.

It allows students to access a global top 100 university (QS World University Rankings 2019) at an affordable cost, whilst enjoying diverse cultural experiences. The University of Southampton brings a top-class global reputation for research excellence as a founding member of the prestigious Russell Group. It is also a top 20 UK university (The Times Good University Guide 2019) with the Malaysia-based engineering courses all ranked in the top six in the UK by The Guardian University Guide, 2019.

The excellent reputation of the university and these specific courses make graduates desirable targets for top employers, and as a result the University of Southampton Malaysia is a popular choice for international students.

The Malaysia campus includes a wide range of modern facilities including stunning sports and recreation facilities at EduCity, including a 12,000-capacity sports stadium, Olympic-size swimming pool, an Indoor arena and other pitches.

What’s new

Sri Ram Vengada Ramanujam, who had enrolled in the University of Southampton Malaysia’s split-campus engineering programme, is one among the few aspirants to have won the Centennial Scholarship, which is sponsored by the UK’s Royal Aeronautical Society. The scholarship was established to commemorate a century of flight as well as to support the upcoming generation of experts and pioneers in aerospace in the 21st century.

Ramanujam pursued the initial two years of his education at the University of Southampton Malaysia, studying a Masters of Engineering (MEng) in Johor before he transitioned to the campus in the UK in 2017.

He is presently pursuing his final year as a student of aeronautics and astronautics, with the hope that this scholarship will help him establish a network within the industry of aviation and aerospace.

Teaching quality

The University of Southampton has a reputation worldwide for its academic excellence. The university is among the world’s top 100 global universities and ranks 96th in the QS World University Rankings 2019. It was invited by the Ministry of Higher Education in Malaysia to create a branch campus for the field of engineering within EduCity development in Iskandar. This helps more students experience the world-class education the University of Southampton offers.

In the UK, the university is ranked number two for electrical and electronic engineering as well as for mechanical engineering, according to The Guardian University Guide 2018. It is also a leading university in the field of aeronautics and astronautics, which is comprised of a wide range of subject areas in the discipline of aerospace. The university is presently ranked 4th in the field by The Complete University Guide, 2019.

The university’s split-campus degree programmes in UK and Malaysia provide students the chance to experience a unique ‘Southampton’ education during the first two years of their education in Malaysia, mixed with their last two years at UK’s research-centred university. Students will gain a global education experience and graduate with a degree from an internationally recognised university.

Students can become part of an environment that is supportive, well-resourced, and intellectually stimulating all of which encourage enquiry and independent learning. At the university, students enjoy a high staff-to-student ratio and benefit from academic links with internationally-renowned institutions.

Students who start their education at the Malaysia campus will graduate with a master’s degree that is from a highly reputable UK university.
