About the University of Macau

 The University of Macau (UM) was founded in 1981. Its predecessor was the private University of East Asia. Through 34 years of development, UM has become a leading university in Macao, with marked progress in teaching, research, and community service. The only public comprehensive university in Macao, UM has produced more than 26,000 outstanding graduates for society since its founding. The UM community currently consists of more than 9,400 students. It offers more than130 bachelor’s, master's, PhD and other programmes, through its Faculty of Arts and Humanities,Faculty of Business Administration, Faculty of Education, Faculty of Health Sciences, Faculty of Law, Faculty of Social Sciences, Faculty of Science and Technology,Institute of Chinese Medical Sciences, and Honours College. English is the main medium of instruction, with some programmes being taught in Chinese, Portuguese or Japanese. In recent years UM is vigorously reforming its undergraduate curriculum, in order to provide a multifaceted learning experience for students. Measures taken towards this end include: (1) implementing a new ‘4-in-1’ model of education that consists of discipline-specific education, general education, research and internship education, and community and peer education, to meet the students' different needs in different stages; (2) establishing Asia’s largest residential college system modelled upon the successful experience of top universities, to complement the faculty-based system, in order to provide students with experiential learning to support their journey of self-discovery; (3)establishing Macao's first Honours College to concentrate resources to produce future leaders for society; (4) launching new general education courses to help students become well-rounded people with a cross-disciplinary perspective and international competitiveness; (5) implementing a research and internship programme to create opportunities for undergraduates to participate in high-level scientific research projects; and (6) enhancing career counselling to give students a head start in career planning.
