Construction of the new campus will be complete soon. According to the tentative plan, some staff will move to the new campus !rst around next April to carry out cleaning, quality inspection, testing, furnishing, equipment installation, etc. If everything goes smoothly, the new campus should be put into full operation around next autumn. After that, UM will launch a series of new measures to serve Macao residents; one measure will be establishing a continuing education centre on the current campus to provide a diverse range of programmes for adults. Rector Wei Zhao indicated that the new campus will be equipped with a complete set of advanced facilities, with possible addition of a faculty of arts, faculty of creative design and faculty of health sciences in the future. He also disclosed that after relocating to the new campus, UM plans to launch practical master’s programmes in a variety of !elds, such as law, education and management, which will mainly target working people, in order to improve Macao residents’ quality and competitiveness and to meet the Macao society’s demand for a high-calibre workforce. In response to public concerns that the rising cost of the new campus may lead to higher tuition fees, Rector Wei Zhao said earlier that even if UM adjusts tuition fees, the increase will not exceed the rate of in"ation. He promised that the university will provide all necessary assistance to make sure not a single admitted student will have to give up his or her place at UM due to !nancial reasons. UM has repeatedly stressed that after moving to the new campus it will continue to ful!ll its social responsibility by expanding its scope of community service. Concrete measures will include opening a diverse range of programmes tailor-made for local working people, sharing advanced biochemical and medical equipment with other sister educational institutions and hospitals in Macao, and opening campus facilities such as the library, the cultural centre, and sports venues to the public to the extent that staff and students’ work and study are not affected—all for the purpose of sharing resources and enhancing the university’s ties with the community. An intrinsic function of education is to help students achieve well-rounded development so that they can better meet the demands of society and play a leadership role in the progress of society and humanity. Therefore, while pursuing academic excellence, UM actively ful!lls its social responsibility, and works hard towards the goal of becoming a world-class university with regional characteristics through a multifaceted “4-in-1” education model that consists of discipline-speci!c education, general education, research and internship education, and community and peer education. 37
