Dear colleagues and students,

The January 2023 issue is a new start for My UM as the publication has gone fully digital to showcase the latest developments at the university and the remarkable achievements of the UM community through the columns of Feature Story and People’s Stories.

Pursuing one’s dreams starts with a single step, and for many students, that step is an undergraduate education at the University of Macau (UM). This issue of My UM features undergraduate programmes at UM, the university’s ‘4-in-1’ education model, and several new undergraduate programmes introduced in recent years.
