Malaysia campus celebrates student progress – next stop, UK!

USMC

Our second year Mechanical Engineering students at the University of Southampton Malaysia Campus joined academic and professional services staff for a formal dinner to mark and celebrate the end of timetabled activities on campus.  Following the summer break, the students will join us in Southampton as the very first group to progress to their third and fourth years in the UK after two years of study at the Malaysia Campus.

The poignant and emotional evening featured speeches from the Chief Executive of USMC, Professor John McBride, and the Head of Academic Affairs, Professor Neil Stephen, as well as a spoof award ceremony for the students, organised by academic colleagues.

Professor McBride commented that ‘he was extremely proud of the students and their achievements, but also of the education experience offered at USMC.’ He also expressed his gratitude to colleagues in Malaysia and the UK for their hard work and commitment.
