Teaching and learning
excellence
Students are the heart of the University and learn in an academically stimulating environment.
Students are especially nurtured with regards to personal development including
entrepreneurial and leadership skills. These commitments and achievements are recognised
by the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) of which UNM was awarded a ‘Gold’ rating for its
outstanding teaching standards achieved in 2017 along with the Higher Education Institutions
(SETARA) rating, where UNM was awarded a 5-star ‘Excellent’ in the mature university
category 2018/2019.
The SETARA rating is further evidence of our strong commitment to the growth of the higher
education sector in Malaysia by facilitating access for students to earn an international
degree with intercontinental opportunities across campuses in the UK and China. In addition,
being part of two quality assurance jurisdictions (QAA*, UK and MQA**) further strengthens
our quality standing as we are independently evaluated by these agencies. The University is
consistently among the highest ranking performers in independent teaching assessments.
