The subject of engineering and technology has been ranked in the 151-175 bracket, while the subject of computer science has been ranked in the 176-200 bracket. UM is the only higher education institution from Macao that has made the list in these two subjects, which is testament to the growing international recognition of the FST’s academic and research achievements in recent years.

The THE rankings are recognised as one of the most influential university rankings in the world.

The faculty aims to develop itself into a world-class engineering and science institute and provide high-quality degree programmes of international standards at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. At the same time, the faculty will continue to foster collaboration with academic institutions and professional bodies in the region, advance research and scholarship, and nurture students into science and technology professionals and leaders of society.
