MPI is now accepting applications from prospective local students for its 2017/2018 undergraduate programmes. Graduating senior high school students and working professionals who wish to pursue further studies are invited to apply from today until 20 January. With the aim of nurturing multi-faceted talents and all-rounded graduates well versed in Chinese, Portuguese and English to serve Macao, in recent years MPI has launched several new undergraduate programmes in Sino-Lusophone Trade Relations, International Chinese Language Education, Portuguese Language, and Speech-Language Therapy, all of which allow students to gain international educational experience during their four years of learning.

MPI adheres to the motto of being ‘rooted in Macao while serving the community’. The Institute also strives to link up with prestigious institutions worldwide to train well-qualified graduates who will contribute to a better Macao. Emphasising both theoretical and practical aspects of the student's area of study, MPI's degree programmes are relevant to the economic and social needs of Macao and are extremely popular with local students. In recent years MPI has introduced several new undergraduate programmes which adopt the ‘3+1’ and ‘2+2’ mode of learning - through one to two years of studies at an overseas institution, students are able to broaden their international horizons and develop their language competencies. MPI has also cooperated with renowned universities and organisations worldwide to provide exchange or internship opportunities outside Macao, including Portugal, Chinese Mainland, United States, Australia, Hong Kong and Taiwan. MPI’s undergraduate programmes in the area of education, including new programmes in International Chinese Language Education, Portuguese Language, and Computer Education, enable students to achieve the teacher qualifications recognised by Macao’s Education and Youth Affairs Bureau.

MPI is Macao’s first higher education institution to have successfully undertaken an institutional review conducted by the UK Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA). MPI’s quality of teaching is on a par with excellent universities worldwide as its various undergraduate degree programmes have received academic and professional validations. MPI’s commitment to academic quality assurance ensures the best learning environment for students.  

In the upcoming academic year MPI will continue to recruit mostly local students to nurture more professionals for the development of Macao.
