<\/p>

The University of Macau (UM)\nhas been ranked among the world\u2019s top 300 universities, between No. 276 and No.\n300, according to the annual Times Higher Education (THE) World University\nRankings 2014-2015<\/i> released today (2\nOctober). This is the first time UM made the list, and, it should be considered\nan\noutstanding and momentum building result because merely a few years ago the\nuniversity were not in the top 400.<\/p>

<\/p>

 <\/p>

<\/p>

In recent years, UM has made a\ngreat effort to improve teaching and research, following international\nstandards and making significant social and global outreach. In particular, it\ncarried out a comprehensive reform of its undergraduate curriculum, established\nthe Honours College,\nincorporated international perspective into its curricula, implementing an\nunique \u201c4-in-1\u201d model of education (which consists of discipline-specific\neducation, general education, research and internship education, as well as\npeer and community education,) and established Asia\u2019s largest and in-depth system\nof residential colleges. Indeed, UM completely revolutionizing the conventional\nperception of education as happening only in a classroom setting. It is\ncommitted to providing a multifaceted education to students to help them grow\ninto exemplary graduates with bilingual proficiency, multidisciplinary\nknowledge, good communication and cooperation skills, and the ability to cope\nwith the challenges brought about by the increasing globalization and knowledge\neconomy. <\/p>

<\/p>

 <\/p>

<\/p>

In terms of research, a global\nand significant effort has been launched in a plethora areas with the aim to\nmove the intellectual and economic level of the region to a new era. To\naccomplish such lofty aims, UM has made in the past few years  important and critical investments in the\nquality of its academic staff, as well as in infrastructures for world-level\nresearch laboratories. These efforts had led to a rapid ascension of areas of\nexcellence with global recognition.<\/p>

<\/p>

 <\/p>

<\/p>

While UM welcomes the good results of THE ranking,\nit would nevertheless like to stress that that the university is not working\nfor a place in the ranking. Rather, it takes to heart the principle reason of\neducation, namely it works to provide the best education for Macao kids to be\noutstanding global citizens of the 21st<\/sup> century. Progress and\nrecognition in terms of world-level academic ranking constitutes, in UM\u2019s\nopinion, an encouragement and an additional stimulus to all UM family members:\nstudents, faculty, administrators that further hard work still awaits them.<\/p>
