Cumulus是聯合國教科文組織認證的國際藝術設計教育與研究組織，深刻影響歐盟及全球藝術設計高等教育政策。澳大藝術與設計系主任、講座教授李軍表示，加入Cumulus 是一個很好的開局，標誌著澳大新興的藝術與設計事業獲得國際認可，同時亦是一個很好的鞭策，意味著澳大的藝術與設計學科任重道遠。該系將秉承“基於偉大的創造”的學術理想，持續不斷研究和創造，回饋澳門與世界，讓世界看到澳門的深厚和年青。
澳大加入Cumulus的決議於法國舉行的Cumulus全體大會上全票通過。澳大藝術與設計系副教授Michael Whittle親臨現場，見證重要歷史時刻。
Cumulus全稱為“The International Association of Universities and Colleges of Art, Design and Media”。該聯盟於1990年由芬蘭赫爾辛基藝術與設計大學、英國皇家藝術學院、丹麥皇家美術學院等多所知名院校共同創立，致力於推動藝術、設計及媒體領域的卓越創新。Cumulus 促進成員間與世界設計組織、國際室內建築師暨設計師團體聯盟、國際平面設計協會、歐洲設計協會等權威機構的合作，制定國際專業品質標準。
繼開設藝術博士和碩士學位課程，澳大將於2025／2026學年開設設計學碩士及博士學位課程（視覺傳達設計），並將陸續推出工業設計和建築設計方向的碩博士課程。澳大藝術與設計系致力培育兼具理論深度與創意實踐的高階藝術設計人才，推動澳門藝術設計產業及經濟的適度多元發展，秉持跨學科融合、文化傳承與創新實踐的教育理念，積極推進國際化戰略。
