School of Computer Science Welcomes New Cohort 2025

The University of Nottingham Malaysia (UNM) campus was buzzing with excitement as the School of Computer Science held its induction event for the new cohort of first-year undergraduate students. The comprehensive session set an inspiring tone, offering a warm welcome alongside a practical roadmap for academic success, highlighting the university's global prestige, extensive support networks, and vibrant student community.

The event was led by Professor Tomas Maul, who opened by assuring the new students that they were in "good hands." He pointed to the University of Nottingham's position as a top 100 institution in the QS World University Rankings and its strong reputation for graduate employability.

Showcasing the school's global reach, Head of School, Professor Chen ZhiYuan addressed the students live from her business trip in China. She highlighted the school's active international engagement, including the signing of new Memorandums of Understanding (MOU) with various universities from China. Prof. Chen also noted that students would see her in the classroom for the second-year software engineering group project and the final-year Machine Learning module.

Prof. Tomas then introduced the diverse and talented team of lecturers, encouraging students to engage with them actively throughout their studies.

The induction provided students with invaluable practical advice to help them succeed. Prof. Tomas explained the course structure and the critical role of the credit system, guiding students effectively manage their workload across lectures, labs, and tutorials. He explained the processes for reassessment and progression, giving students a transparent understanding of the academic regulations from day one.

A core message throughout the event was that students are fully supported during their time at the university. "You are not alone," Prof. Tomas emphasised, as he detailed the extensive support system. He introduced the roles of personal tutors as a first point of contact for any issues, alongside module convenors, the senior tutor, and the Head of School. He also highlighted the university's professional Counselling and Careers Advisory services.

Closing the session, Prof. Tomas encouraged students to cultivate a healthy work/life balance, take advantage of university facilities, and most importantly, "have fun". The comprehensive induction left students feeling welcomed, informed, and well-equipped to embark on their promising journey into the world of computer science at a world-class institution.

Welcome new students!
