To enhance students’ global perspective and knowledge, Lui Che Woo College (LCWC) of the University of Macau (UM) organised a study tour to Singapore for its students and resident fellows. The study tour provided an opportunity for them to engage in cultural and knowledge exploration and experiential learning and enhance their knowledge in areas such as engineering, business, and social sciences.

Led by Desmond Lam, college master of LCWC, 19 students visited the National University of Singapore (NUS). They visited the Engineering Design and Innovation Centre and discussed with their professor topical issues related to the integration of academic knowledge with industrial practice in the real world. The group also visited the Institute for the Public Understanding of Risk and explored a range of academic topics, including growth mindset, healthy aging and its link to diabetes. During their visit to the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, LCWC members met with faculty representatives to learn about the academic programmes offered by the faculty and career opportunities in Singapore.

In addition, the LCWC members visited Nanyang Technological University, where they experienced campus life and learned more about the history of the university and the unique architecture of the campus. The group also visited two integrated resorts in Singapore, Resorts World Sentosa and Marina Bay Sands, to gain a better understanding of the operation of international integrated resorts.
