The tenth issue of umagazine has been released Photo Download

The first half of the year 2014 has been very fruitful for the University of Macau (UM).

Research in microelectronics has entered the world’s top ten. Some of the academic programmes offered by the Faculty of Science and Technology and Faculty of Business Administration have received international recognition. Apart from making progress in teaching and research, the university has also successfully invited many leaders in different fields to share experience and insights with the students, including Nobel laureates Prof Chen Ning Yang and Prof Joseph E Stiglitz, and one of the Chinese-speaking world’s best known poets, Prof Yu Kwang Chung.

These achievements become more encouraging when viewed in the context of the new campus. In August 2014, UM completed its relocation to the new campus. The new campus brings new opportunities, but with new opportunities come new challenges.

Behind every achievement the university has attained is years of tireless team effort. This issue of umagazine tells those behind-the-scenes stories. Besides comprehensive reporting of the university’s research achievements and future goals, this issue also features in-depth discussions on the various strategies for further improving the university’s teaching and learning.

Prof Ge Wei cited an old Chinese saying, “The road is tortuous, but the future is bright,” when talking about the future of the newly established Faculty of Health Sciences. Perhaps this saying is also a fitting description of the future of the university. The road to achieving our goals is not always smooth and straight, but with confidence and joint effort, it is entirely possible to elevate the university to new heights of success.
