Globalisation is making international partnerships more crucial in universities. Macao, as a Sino-Lusophone platform, with its Chinese and Portuguese heritage, distinctive linguistic environment, and cultural diversity, benefits from working with universities in Portuguese-speaking countries. These collaborations help with academic exchanges, enhance research cooperation, and allow for the sharing of educational resources. It also helps prepare students with international skills and outlooks.
MPU has strategically focused on utilising its educational excellence to enhance sustainable development between China and Portuguese-speaking nations. Ramping up its research in technologies and interdisciplinary studies, the University aims to contribute meaningfully to sustainable progress. This effort aligns with the broader goals of international higher education institutions dedicated to promoting sustainability.
