When it comes to colleges and universities in Macau, most people's first reaction must be University of Macau and University of Science and Technology . But in fact, there is also a very low-key but strong university dark horse in Macau - City University of Macau . The following will introduce it in detail.
First of all, let’s announce a very amazing data: in 2022, the undergraduate enrollment plan of Macau City University in the mainland is 1,100, but the number of applicants has exceeded 15,000. This is the data obtained under the premise that there are still 5 days before the registration deadline. If you add international students, the data will definitely soar even more. Compared with 2021, the total number of applicants for schools in the mainland is only 13,000.
Overall, the number of applicants for various majors in Aocheng University in 2022 has increased significantly compared with the same period in previous years. It can be seen that with the improvement of the school's educational quality and academic level, the popularity of mainland students is also increasing. While the competition is fierce, the admission score line is probably rising. Later in the article, the editor will also give more detailed explanations on the admission conditions and admission standards.
The outstanding performance of the three comprehensive strengths of the city university in Macau
①The school’s selection list and rankings
Macau City University was the predecessor of the University of Macau, East Asia, established in 1981. It was renamed in 2011. It is currently one of the four comprehensive universities in Macau that carry out full-level "bachelor's, master's and doctoral education". The school now has 9 colleges including Business School, School of Data Science, School of Finance, School of Humanities and Social Sciences, School of Innovation and Design, School of International Tourism and Management, School of Education, School of Law School, , and Institute of Portuguese-speaking Countries, and provides more than 40 Chinese-English courses with 11 bachelor's degree, , 19 master's degree and 14 doctoral degrees.

The basis for adopting in 2020 is the four main indicators of social reputation, faculty, talent training, and scientific research. Urban University of Macau has entered the top 100 in this ranking, ranking 89.
However, Aocheng University does not have relevant QS world rankings, only the above universities in the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and four regions. However, for students who do not want to study in China, this is also a data reference, ranking above Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine , Xi'an University of Electronic Science and Technology and Central China Normal University .
In addition, the City University of Macau ranks 765th in the world in the 2022 SCIMAgo World University Rankings (Academic Rankings of Universities and Research Institutions). In the 2022 WRWU World University Rankings (Webometrics Rankings of World Universities).
②Two ace majors, super high recognition
What everyone is most concerned about is that there is ace major worth recommending in the Urban University of Macau. Here we point out two ace majors - tourism and leisure management and business management.
ranked in the world's first-class disciplines in soft science in 2020, and the discipline of tourism and leisure management in Macau City University entered the top 20% of the world, ranking 54th in the world. Until the ranking of world-class disciplines in Soft Science in 2022, this discipline ranks among the top 20% in the world, ranking 51-75. It has been ranked among the world-class disciplines in soft science for three consecutive years, ranking among the top 20% in the world.
International Tourism and Management major in the Tourism Management School has become the only special course in Macau that has received the TedQual high-quality education quality certification from the United Nations World Tourism Organization (WTO).
Business Administration major has dual certifications from the Royal Institute of Chartered Management Accountants (CIMA) and the Institute of Management Certified Public Accountants (ICMA).
③The faculty can align with domestic universities and more international
According to the official website of the City University of Macau, more than 80% of the school’s teachers have obtained doctoral degrees in world-renowned universities, and have also attracted famous scholars at home and abroad as special professors at universities. The management team has experience in higher education management in both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the four regions or overseas regions. The leaders of each discipline also come from countries and regions such as the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Australia, Portugal, and Singapore to form a diversified and international academic faculty team.
Some famous scholars
In fact, the overall faculty team is still mainly mainland teachers, but these very famous special professors have supported a big storefront, and they can generally match the faculty of domestic universities, which is very worthy of praise.

■Registration and admission methods
Macau City University adopts the admission and admission method of independent enrollment and independent selection of merit. It is not included in the mainland enrollment plan.

·Admission score line. As the number of applicants continues to grow in recent years, the admission score will definitely grow much higher. For the admissions to the first-tier and above key classes mentioned above and above the second-tier and above the ordinary classes, the actual score required during admissions may be far from enough. Judging from the admission situation in 2021, the highest admission score of Aocheng University exceeded the first-tier tier by 90 points! However, the editor recommends that students who want to study a general undergraduate course in the city university of Macau can have a higher chance of admission for college entrance examination scores below the first-tier line of 30-40.
·Preparatory class. Even if you fail to meet the admission standards for ordinary undergraduate classes at the City University of Macau and your college entrance examination results have not reached the second-tier line, you still have the opportunity to enter the University of Macau because it has a preparatory course (preparatory course). After a year, students can transfer to normal undergraduate courses with their own efforts, which is a good opportunity to enter the undergraduate program.
·Suitable for applicants. Compared with ordinary second-tier universities in the mainland, I believe that the Urban University of Macau will be a good choice in terms of school recognition and cost-effectiveness in studying abroad. However, due to the problems of tuition and living expenses, it is recommended that families with better financial abilities choose. In addition, some courses are taught in English, which have certain requirements for students' English abilities. Students who plan to study abroad after graduation are also more suitable for choosing.
·Employment and research advantages. Tourism is one of the leading industries in Macau and is very competitive in terms of employment and salary. Numerous job opportunities, generous salary and low tax policies have made tourism a hot and popular industry in Macau. Therefore, if you want to stay in Macau for employment, it is really good to study for ace at the City University of Macau. In addition, for students who want to continue applying for overseas studies, students from AUC will definitely have more advantages than students from mainland China. Over the years, many undergraduates have applied to the UK G5, the top three universities in Hong Kong, or the University of Australia.
