The University of Macau (UM) and Nanjing University (NJU) have launched a ‘2.5+2’ dual bachelor’s degree programme (applied physics and chemistry—applied physics). Students who meet the graduation requirements of the programme will receive a bachelor’s degree from each of the universities. Through the integration of educational resources, UM and NJU aim to establish a high-level cross-regional academic platform to enhance students’ international competitiveness and cultivate specialists in applied physics and chemistry for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the country.
Physics and chemistry are fundamental disciplines as well as important pillars for technological innovation. Therefore, the cultivation of specialists in these fields holds significant importance for promoting Macao’s economic diversification. The programme covers core subjects including solid-state physics, optoelectronics, semiconductor physics, thermodynamics, statistical physics, and magnetism of materials. It provides students with a solid foundation in physics and interdisciplinary knowledge of physics and chemistry applications, broadening their professional expertise while fostering innovative thinking and problem-solving skills.
The standard duration of the programme is 4.5 years. Students are required to complete the first two and a half years of applied physics and chemistry courses at UM, followed by two years of applied physics courses at NJU. Students who meet the graduation requirements will receive a Bachelor of Science in Applied Physics and Chemistry from UM and a Bachelor of Science in Applied Physics from NJU. Both degrees are recognised in Macao and mainland China.
NJU is a long-established higher education institution in mainland China and is one of the first batch of universities selected for national initiatives such as Project 211, Project 985, and the Double First-Class Initiative. In addition, NJU is among the earliest universities in the mainland to offer physics education and has made great contributions to the development of physics in the country. Dozens of academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering have studied or worked at NJU. The physics programme offered by the School of Physics of NJU is recognised as a national first-level key discipline.
The launch of the programme not only marks an important milestone in the cooperation between UM and NJU but also provides valuable opportunities for Macao and Hong Kong students to study at a top-tier mainland university. It is a strong demonstration of the integrated development of education in Macao and mainland China. In the future, UM and NJU will continue to work together and plan to establish a dual bachelor’s degree programme in computer science to jointly cultivate more outstanding talent with international competitiveness for Macao and mainland China, thereby contributing to the technological development of both sides.
澳門大學與南京大學聯合推出的“澳大—南大2.5+2（應用物理及化學—應用物理學）”培養計劃現已啟動。符合該計劃畢業要求的學生將分別獲得澳門大學與南京大學學士學位。兩校期望通過教育資源的整合，打造高水平跨地域學術平台，提升學生的國際競爭力，為粵港澳大灣區乃至國家培養應用物理及化學領域的專業人才。
物理、化學等基礎學科是科技創新的重要支撐，培養理化專才對推動澳門經濟適度多元發展具有重要意義。計劃內容涵蓋固態物理學、光電子學、半導體物理學、熱力學、統計物理學、材料的磁性等核心科目，為學生提供堅實的物理基礎及物理與化學跨學科應用知識，既能拓寬學生的專業知識，更能培養其創新思維及解決實際問題的能力。
計劃修讀年期為4.5年，學生需在澳大修讀首兩年半應用物理及化學課程，並在南大完成餘下兩年的應用物理學專業課程。完成課程並符合畢業資格的學生將分別獲頒澳大應用物理及化學理學士學位與南大應用物理學專業理學學士學位，學歷獲澳門及內地認可。
南大是內地歷史悠久的高等學府，同時是首批入選國家“211工程”、“985工程”及“雙一流”的高校之一。南大物理學科是內地高校中創立最早的物理學科之一，為中國物理學發展作出了重要貢獻，數十位中科院和工程院院士曾在南大學習及工作。南大物理學院現有“物理學”國家一級重點學科。
計劃啟動不僅是澳大與南大合作的重要里程碑，也為港澳學生提供進入內地一流高校學習的寶貴機會，是澳門與內地教育融合發展的有力見證。未來，澳大將與南大繼續攜手合作，計劃推出計算機科學雙學士學位課程，共同為內地及澳門培養更多具備國際競爭力的優秀人才，助力兩地科技發展。
