University of Macau

The University of Macau (UM) is the flagship public university in Macao, which gives it a unique advantage to place itself as a world-class university with regional characteristics. In recent years, UM has made significant progress and has gained increasing international recognition and reputation for its teaching, research, and community service. To better support higher education development in Macao and to meet society’s ever-increasing demand for high-quality professionals, UM in 2014 relocated to the current campus which covers approximately 1.09 km². The large campus, the implementation of Asia’s largest residential college system, the unique ‘4-in-1’ education model consisting of discipline-specific education, general education, research and internship education, and community and peer education, combine to provide a multifaceted education to students to help them achieve well-rounded development. UM internationally recruits outstanding scholars to create a multilingual and multicultural learning environment for the students. With the new developments in the Greater Bay Area, and the recent initiatives of the University in cutting edge research and interdisciplinary academic programmes, UM is faced with unprecedented opportunities and provides exciting new possibilities for professional development.
