The partnership recognises NUBS Malaysia as a CISI Accredited Training Provider and will provide University of Nottingham Malaysia students the opportunity to enrol on a module entitled ‘Introduction to Securities & Investment’. Launched on 22 May 2018, the module is open to the University’s undergraduate students who are enrolled on any course in any School and is part of the Nottingham Advantage Award (NAA), the University of Nottingham’s employability award that provides students the chance to be involved in extra-curricular and co-curricular modules designed to enhance employability, personal and professional development.

Students who complete the module may then opt to take the CISI’s ‘International Introduction to Securities & Investment’ examination, which is a CISI Foundation Level qualification that contributes towards the CISI Level 3 Certificate in International Introduction to Securities & Investment.120618NottUniBusSchoolMalaysia
