Macau Millennium College

The mission of MMC is to provide education of the highest quality to our students in selected academic, research and professional fields at affordable rates. These fields are closely related to Macau’s most important industry, namely, the Tourism and Gaming Industry. MMC’s motto is to introduce innovative academic programs to nurture talents to meet the urgent needs of Macau’s society. Under the drive of a well-defined vision and, therefore, with an insightful direction, MMC started as early as 2002 to research and develop a tailored-made degree program for the Gaming Industry workforce and other full-time working professionals. It is well-known that frontline workers in Macau’s casinos change work-shifts every three days. It is, therefore, impossible for them to go to a conventional university with a conventional class schedule. To accommodate the needs of these shift-workers, MMC introduced a flexible and unique but costly scheduling system; known as “shift-classes for shift-workers”, for their Associate and Bachelor’s degree programs in Hospitality Management and Business Management (Commerce). Under this system, professors lecture twice-a-day on the same lecture topic, that is, in both the morning and evening sessions. For the same tuition fees, MMC students can choose to attend either the morning or evening sessions for every lecture topic.
