The Postgraduate Scholarship Program under the Global Talent Admission Pathway is a strategic initiative of the University of Macau (UM)—a leading public university in Macau, currently ranked #145 in the THE World University Rankings and #14 in the THE Young University Rankings. UM demonstrates outstanding strengths in engineering, computer science, pharmacology, and toxicology—fields that are all ranked within the top 0.1% worldwide according to ESI.

With English as the medium of instruction, the scholarship program not only provides comprehensive financial support (including tuition fee waiver, free on-campus accommodation, and a monthly living allowance), but also ensures a priority admission process exclusively for applicants from partner universities.
