Leading UK university for engineering and mathematics announces new international branch campus and full scholarships

The University has signed an agreement to establish a branch campus in the Iskandar region of Malaysia. Scheduled to open in 2012, the University of Southampton Malaysia Campus will initially offer undergraduate courses in engineering.

Courses will be taught in Malaysia for the first two years of the programme, with a seamless transition to Southampton's UK campus for the last two years.
