In July 2022, while the world was still fighting against the COVID-19 pandemic, Macao entered a ‘relatively static state’ aimed at reining in the outbreak. To expand students’ international horizons and improve their skills to apply for postgraduate programmes at international universities, career development capabilities, and international competitiveness, Ma Man Kei and Lo Pak Sam College (MLC) on 16 July invited seven outstanding alumni to share their experiences in applying for postgraduate programmes and job hunting after graduation. MLC also invited students and academic staff from East China Normal University's Daxia College to participate and exchange views with MLC students.
