UM holds International Night to promote international exchange

The Global Affairs Office (GAO) of the University of Macau (UM) held International Night 2026, bringing together around 300 students from more than 50 countries and regions for an evening of cultural exchange and celebration. The event showcased UM’s vibrant international community and the appeal of its multicultural campus.

Speaking at the event, Rui Martins, vice rector of UM, said the university has seen a significant increase in new international students this year, with particularly strong growth in international postgraduate enrolment. UM’s international students now come from 63 countries and regions, reflecting the university’s increasing appeal to students worldwide. Martins said that UM is not only a place of learning, but also an important platform for cross-cultural dialogue. He encouraged students to make the most of UM’s diverse and inclusive learning environment, explore different cultures, and engage actively with peers from around the world.

International Night 2026 welcomed students from more than 50 countries and regions, including the Chinese mainland, Angola, Armenia, Australia, Bangladesh, Belgium, Bhutan, Brazil, the British Virgin Islands, Cape Verde, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ghana, Guinea-Bissau, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Iran, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Mexico, Mozambique, Myanmar, New Zealand, Nigeria, the Philippines, Portugal, Russia, South Korea, Spain, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Turkey, the US, Uzbekistan, Venezuela, and Vietnam.

UM also encourages students to take part in overseas exchange programmes and gain international experience. This international and multicultural approach to education continues to attract outstanding students from around the world and contributes to a vibrant, culturally diverse campus. The construction of UM’s campus in the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin is in full swing. UM will use this opportunity to further advance its internationalisation strategy, expand international student recruitment, and deepen international exchange and cooperation. The university will continue to provide students with a more international learning environment and broader opportunities for learning and exchange, while nurturing young talent with a global outlook and international competitiveness.
