University of Saint Joseph

The?University of Saint Joseph?(USJ) is a multicultural Catholic university of?Macao, China.
Heritage
Established in 1996 by the?Catholic University of Portugal?and the Diocese of Macao, USJ was modelled after top universities in Europe and is now a hub for international collaboration framed by Macao’s unique local character. USJ stands squarely within the Macanese tradition of intercultural education that began with the founding of?the first Western-style university in East Asia?in 1594.
Purpose
At USJ, students and faculty members come from?over 50 different nations?for the shared pursuit of knowledge in service of humanity. This mix of backgrounds and perspectives makes USJ’s learning environment an effective?incubator of ideas, sparking innovation and creative solutions to relevant challenges in the world.
Academics
USJ operates primarily in English and every student may learn the two official languages of Macao: Chinese and Portuguese. Programmes of study are offered in the?Arts and Humanities,?Health Sciences, Education,?Environmental Science,?Religious Studies and Philosophy, and?Business and Law. In each programme, critical and creative thinking is underlined by collaborative and practice-based learning, where self-reflection on the ethical implications of one’s education is always encouraged.
Campus
In 2017, USJ expanded to its new?Ilha Verde Campus. USJ’s new “Green Campus” is a model of architectural innovation, featuring state of the art academic facilities and a?residential hall?that has single and double room accommodation for undergraduates, as well as studio apartments for graduate students and visiting academics.
Connection
