MPU Hosts International Student Welcome Day to Enhance Cultural Exchange and Experience the Uniqueness of Macao

MPU Welcomes Nearly 100 International and Exchange Students for the New Academic Year

At the start of the new academic year, Macao Polytechnic University (MPU) warmly welcomed nearly a hundred international and exchange students from Mainland China, as well as countries and regions including Portugal, Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Equatorial Guinea, Mozambique, São Tomé and Príncipe, Timor-Leste, and Italy. The Student Affairs Office organised an “International Student Welcome Day” to help students smoothly adapt to life and studies in Macao, enriching the campus with vibrant cultural diversity, enhancing the university’s international atmosphere, and promoting cross-cultural exchange.

To give international and exchange students a warm welcome and help them experience Macao’s unique blend of Eastern and Western cultures, the Student Affairs Office organised a series of engaging activities. After arriving in Macao, students kicked off their journey with a campus tour and orientation session to get familiar with the university’s environment and academic resources. They then visited the Macao Museum, where guided tours offered a deeper understanding of the city’s 400-year history of cultural fusion. The experience continued with trips to iconic heritage sites like the Ruins of St. Paul’s and Village of Our Lady in Ka Ho, allowing students to immerse themselves in Macao’s rich history and charm. These activities not only helped students connect with local culture but also encouraged meaningful exchange among peers from diverse backgrounds.

The Student Affairs Office of MPU shared that the university is deeply committed to creating a positive and enriching experience for international students. Through a wide variety of cultural events, academic exchanges, and community-based activities, the university aims to foster an inclusive and welcoming environment where students from all backgrounds feel at home. The goal is for every student to not only receive a top-quality education, but also to truly experience Macao’s vibrant multicultural atmosphere, build meaningful friendships across borders, and lay a strong foundation for becoming globally minded professionals in the future.
