The first students to travel from our Malaysia Campus enjoyed a warm and welcoming start to their time on Britain’s south coast.
The group of 20 embarked on the final two years of their MEng in Mechanical Engineering with a series of campus and city tours, induction talks and social activities to prepare them for their life and studies in Southampton, after two years at the EduCity@Iskandar in Malaysia.
Student Alan Tan said, “I like it here – it’s very green with lots of trees and grass and very clean. It’s quite busy compared to my hometown but everyone seems to be very friendly and very open.”
Professor Mark Spearing, Pro-Vice-Chancellor (International) said, “This is a great moment and milestone for our students and our University as we extend the reach of our world leading education and research whilst providing a direct channel for students to come to Southampton from around the world and share the great student experience that we offer here in the UK.”
