Macau University of Science and Technology

Macau University of Science and Technology is a private university on Taipa in Macau, established in 2000. In two decades it expanded from a new campus into one of the largest universities in the Macao Special Administrative Region, with instruction in Chinese, English, and Portuguese. It is organized as a comprehensive science-and-technology university with professional faculties rather than a collegiate system.

Teaching and research sit in faculties of Chinese medicine, medicine, information technology, law, business, hospitality and tourism management, and humanities and arts, plus an international college. Graduate laboratories include the State Key Laboratory of Quality Research in Chinese Medicine. Macau University of Science and Technology Hospital provides clinical settings for medical and Chinese-medicine students.

The university enrolls about 18,000 students, most of them undergraduates, with a large share of students from mainland China and elsewhere in Asia. Graduate students form a smaller share of the total. Faculty strength is concentrated in Chinese medicine, applied science, and professional fields. Alumni typically enter practice and industry in Macau and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

Master's and doctoral study is offered in Chinese medicine, pharmacy, business, information technology, and related fields, combining coursework with laboratory or clinical supervision. The calendar is a two-semester year. Students live and work on the Taipa campus in a compact city with short travel times to Zhuhai and Hong Kong.
