Bachelor degree at UM
Students are accepted to bachelor's programs at UM based on the results of entrance exams.
The city campus of UM provides students with countless opportunities for work and recreation — from sitting in a coffee shop with a laptop to internships at large companies. Macau has a well developed entertainment infrastructure, but the rhythm of the big city can be distracting for some students. During the period of study, students can use the university library, where they can do homework and write scientific papers. Not only locals study at UM, but also students from other countries. The variety of cultures represented broadens the horizons of students and fills student life with all sorts of activities, the purpose of which is cultural exchange.
