Description:

The University of Macau (UMacau) is the flagship public university in Macao,

world-class university with regional characteristics. English is its working

society’s ever-increasing demand for high-quality professionals, the
university relocated in August 2014 to a new campus of approximately 1.09
square kilometres. With a state-of-the-art campus, the implementation of
Asia’s largest residential college system, the establishment of new faculties
and well-equipped laboratories, the increasing numbers of students and faculty
members recruited from around the world, UMacau possesses great potential and
provides exciting new possibilities for professional development.

The Faculty of Arts and Humanities is home to the Centre for Studies in
Translation, Interpreting and Cognition (http://cstic.umac.mo) and a
