The group have been actively promoting University of Gloucestershire and the local area through various social media channels and the tour is also being covered by a number of local newspapers in Kuala Lumpur.

Dr Richard O’Doherty, Deputy Vice Chancellor, emphasised the University’s continued commitment to its activities in Malaysia saying “It has been a pleasure to host such an experienced and enthusiastic group. We have all learnt a great deal from each other and we hope that the new relationships that have emerged will continue well into the future“.
