澳大辦大學體驗日讓中學生感受校園生活
澳門大學健康科學學院與何鴻燊東亞書院聯合舉辦“大學體驗日”，讓澳門利瑪竇中學的30位中四學生到澳大親身感受校園生活，了解大學的學習環境與氛圍。
活動期間，學生參加由澳大健康科學學院副教授周昶行主講的“為甚麼成功人士都運動？”科學講座。周昶行深入淺出地講解了運動對健康的重要性，以科學角度解釋運動能有效提升記憶力的機制和原理，並引用多項研究證明運動對於提升認知能力和學習效率具有顯著效果。講座內容生動有趣，引發學生的熱烈討論。周昶行還向學生介紹了澳大概況、學院的教學課程、科研成果、聯合培養課程、交流機會等資訊。
此外，在澳大健康科學學院助理教授曾華鑫的帶領下，學生參觀了多個實驗室，深入了解澳大科研工作的環境，以及各種尖端科研設備，並透過觀摩研究人員的日常工作，對澳大科研有了更直觀的認識。
在澳大何鴻燊東亞書院，學生在該院院長羅茜及導師陳宇威的陪同下參觀書院的設施和住宿環境。他們對書院多元化的學生活動、舒適的住宿條件和生活配套均表讚賞。此外，書院特意安排他們與澳大本科生共進午膳，並就選科、學習經驗等話題展開交談，交流氣氛熱烈。
帶隊的澳門利瑪竇中學副校長胡詠欣表示，活動不僅讓學生對大學生活有了更清晰的認識，還激發他們對未來學業的熱情和動力。通過參加科學講座、參觀實驗室和書院，以及與大學生的深入交流，增加了學生對大學生活的興趣，並為他們未來的學業方向提供了寶貴的指導。

UM holds University Experience Day for local secondary school students
The Faculty of Health Sciences (FHS) and Stanley Ho East Asia College (SHEAC) of the University of Macau (UM) jointly organised a ‘University Experience Day’ for 30 Form 4 students from Colégio Mateus Ricci in Macao. The event gave the students an insight into campus life at UM and the learning environment and atmosphere of the university.
The students first attended a science talk titled ‘Why Do Successful People Exercise?’ given by FHS Associate Professor William Chao Chong Hang. Prof Chao highlighted the importance of exercise for health, and explained the mechanisms and principles by which exercise effectively improves memory from a scientific perspective. He cited some studies that demonstrate the significant effects of exercise on improving cognitive abilities and learning efficiency. The engaging content of the talk sparked lively discussions among the students. Prof Chao also gave an overview of UM, as well as the academic programmes, research achievements, joint programmes, and exchange opportunities of FHS.
The students, led by FHS Assistant Professor Wakam Chang, then visited several laboratories and gained an in-depth understanding of the research environment and state-of-the-art research facilities at UM. They also observed the daily work of researchers and gained a clearer understanding of the university’s research activities.
The event also included a visit to SHEAC, where the students, accompanied by College Master Kathy Luo Qian and Resident Fellow Chan U Wai, learned about the college’s facilities and accommodation. The students expressed their appreciation of the diverse student activities, comfortable living environment, and comprehensive amenities of the college. Additionally, SHEAC arranged for the students to have lunch with UM undergraduates, during which they discussed topics such as course selection and learning experiences.
Vice Principal of Colégio Mateus Ricci, Wu Weng Ian, who led the students to UM, said that the visit not only gave the students a clearer understanding of university life but also increased their enthusiasm and motivation for future studies. The science talk, visits to laboratories and the college, and interactions with UM students increased the students’ interest in university life and provided guidance on their future studies.
