In her speech, Rector Fanny Vong expressed gratitude to all donating organisations and individuals for their generous contributions, enabling students to pursue diversified exposure and experiences needed to reach their full potential. UTM continues to strengthen its role as a leading institution in Macao and beyond, with a focus on delivering world-class education and nurturing future talents. The year 2025 marks significant progress in both infrastructure and academic offerings. With the renovation of the Yiu Tung Building and Educational Residence, nearly all degree programme students are now based primarily at the Taipa Campus, reinforcing UTM’s commitment to providing an enhanced learning environment.
In response to evolving societal needs, UTM will launch two new programmes in the 2026/2027 academic year – a Bachelor of Science in Management and Data Science; and a Master in Business Administration, further expanding opportunities for students in diverse fields.
The University is also actively broadening international cooperation by offering dual degree programmes with leading institutions in the UK, Switzerland, and Australia, among others. These programmes give students valuable global learning experiences, strengthen cross‑cultural skills, broaden international perspectives, and enhance both career competitiveness and postgraduate opportunities.
