For instance, the university has established the Centre for Constitutional Law and Basic Law Studies and the Macao Base for Primary & Secondary Education in Humanities & Social Sciences (the latter being a collaborative project with Peking University). It has also launched the Chinese and Portuguese Bilingual Talent Nurturing Scheme and the Bachelor of Law programme, which is a five-year day-time programme conducted in Chinese and Portuguese. These measures aim to make maximum use of Macao’s strengths and meet the growing demand for Chinese-Portuguese bilingual professionals in China. UM also vigorously supports Macao’s development into a base for cultural exchange and collaboration, where Chinese culture is the predominant component and a variety of other cultures co-exist in harmony. To this end, the university has launched a master’s degree programme in Chinese history and culture, Chinese language courses for international students, and teacher training programmes for language instructors. It has also inaugurated a new Cultural Building, which houses the Centre for Chinese History and Culture, Centre for Macau Studies, Confucius Institute, Chinese-Portuguese Bilingual Teaching and Training Centre, and Centre for Arts and Design, all of which are strong cultural or teaching units at UM. Together, they provide strong support to Macao’s efforts to disseminate traditional Chinese culture. The two new education bases, namely the Macao Base for Primary and Secondary Education in Humanities and Social Sciences, and the Macao Base for Primary and Secondary STEM Education, represent UM’s effort to support basic education in Macao. In addition, UM’s Faculty of Education conducts the triannual Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), which provides reference for the SAR government to formulate education policies suited to the city’s development. One of UM’s missions is to serve the local community through scientific research. The university has initiated research studies on issues that are of interest to the local society, such as responsible gaming, testing for civil engineering, and macroeconomic forecasts, in order to ್ ᥇⬷ᘪ㟊 UM Rector Yonghua Song
