| 2. The “4-in-1” Education Model |
|---|
University of Macau (UM) implements a ‘4-in-1’ education model to meet students’ different needs at different stages. This model consists of discipline-specific education, general education, research and internship education, and community and peer education. Inspired by the examples of world-class universities, UM introduced a residential college system to help students achieve well-rounded development. It has also established Macao’s first Honours College to produce future leaders for society, and has launched new general education courses to broaden students’ horizons and enhance their international competitiveness. UM also implements a research and internship programme to create opportunities for undergraduates to participate in scientific research projects and to give them a head start in career planning.
| Discipline-specific Education | General Education |
| Specialism is an important hallmark of university education. The increased degree of division of labour and occupational specialisation makes discipline-specific education not only reasonable but also necessary. For this reason, UM is committed to constantly improving the quality of its discipline-specific education. | General education breaks through the boundaries of traditional discipline-specific education. It aims to nurture erudite students who can fuse different realms of knowledge into an integrated whole. UM began to reform its undergraduate curriculum in 2008, with new general education courses covering four areas being launched. |
| Research and Internship Education | Community and Peer Education |
| UM implements a research and internship programme for undergraduate students, with a focus on innovation and practice. Through the programme, UM provides various opportunities for undergraduate students to participate in scientific research and internships. Many undergraduate students at UM have published their research findings at top academic conferences and in academic journals. They have also received numerous awards in regional and international competitions. | UM is the first university in Asia to have a complete-and the biggest-system of residential colleges. Currently, there are ten residential colleges at UM. Through systematic planning of all courses, programmes, and activities, the colleges aim to help students develop soft skills in five areas, namely Healthy Living, Interpersonal Relation and Teamwork, Leadership and Service, Cultural Engagement, and Citizenship with a Global Perspective. |
