In the future, the two universities will deepen the cooperation and work together to cultivate more talents with innovation and creativity, affection for home country and global perspectives.

In addition to experiencing UM’s unique residential college system, whole-person education and multicultural environment, the exchange students also went to the nation’s first state key laboratory in the Internet of Things for smart city to conduct project research and discussions with UM professors. Ye Yihan, one of the exchange students, said, “As there are few opportunities to use English in Mainland China, I was not used to the English study environment when I first arrived at UM. But then I found my English level has improved over time. Also, the electronic technology courses offered by UM are also very close to current marketing situation, and professors in UM are very friendly and patient.”

Regarding the study and life in UM, the residential college has launched various activities, focusing on cultivating students’ teamwork spirit, service commitment, cultural participation, and leadership skills, which also deeply impressed the exchange students. Another exchange student, Tan Xinyi said, “I had rock climbing, high table dinner and concerts with my friends in residential college and they are very new and interesting to me. The largest differences of life at UM is that I can experience many different things, step out of my comfort zone.”

The exchange program has expanded the chance and ways for cooperation between the two universities. Tsinghua University and UM will continue to leverage each other’s advantages so as to provide students with a more comprehensive learning opportunities and jointly contribute to the development of national higher education.

澳門大學科技學院與清華大學於本年初展開首個交換生計劃,7名來自清華大學電機系的優秀本科生於澳大完成了一個學期的交流。交換生今(5月11日)參與由科技學院舉辦的交換生交流總結會,分享自己在澳大的學習經歷與成果,兩校近十位教授也一同於線上線下參與。未來雙方將進一步深化合作關係,攜手為國家培養更多具創新思維、家國情懷和國際視野的人才。

除了體驗澳大獨特書院制度、全人教育及多元文化的環境外,交換生們還到全國第一個智慧城市物聯網領域的國家重點實驗室與澳大教授們一同進行項目研究及討論。交換生之一的葉一涵表示:「由於內地較少有使用英語的機會,初到澳大時,對大學的全英語教學不太習慣,但時間久了發現英語水平也有所提高。此外,澳大所提供的電子技術課程也十分緊貼市場現狀,教授們也很十分耐心地解釋。」

學習生活上,住宿式書院發起形形色色的活動,著重培養學生團隊協作、服務投入、文化參與、領導能力等也令同學們感受甚深。另一位交換生譚心逸表示: 「與書院同學去體驗攀岩、書院晚宴及音樂會,都讓我覺得十分新奇有趣。澳大生活最大不同在於我可以更充分地體驗生活,邁出舒適圈,積極嘗試不同的挑戰。」

是次交換生交流計劃開啟了兩校更多元化的合作,期望未來繼續依託彼此的優勢,為學生提供更全面更多樣化的交流平台,共同為國家高等教育事業的發展作出貢獻。
