History
Nottingham's first civic college was opened in the city centre in 1881.
In 1948, the college was awarded the Royal Charter and became The University of Nottingham. Just over 50 years later, in 2000, the University opened its first overseas campus in Malaysia and, in 2005, staff and students moved to a purpose-built park campus in Semenyih, Malaysia, close to Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
