The University of Macau (UM) Centre for Continuing Education (CCE), in collaboration with BRTC and HKU SPACE, organized a training course on “Digital Empowerment and Financial Intelligence in the Greater Bay Area” for 12 students from Guangdong University of Foreign Studies from 16th to 21st February. We got positive feedback from the participants.
The week-long training program consisted of a series of specialized lectures with rich content, delivered entirely in English by expert and UM professors. Students first attended a lecture on “Green Finance and ESG” at the University of Hong Kong, followed by lectures at the University of Macau on “Blockchain: Technology and Applications,” “How Innovation Drives Economic Growth,” and “Introduction to Financial Technology (Fintech)”. On the final day, students presented their group learning outcomes. During the closing ceremony, the accompanying teacher and student representatives shared their thoughts, noting that the training provided deeper insights into both Hong Kong and Macao. They found the classes interesting, the instructors dedicated, and the content practical and helpful for their professional studies. They hope for future study in UM.
Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, located in Guangzhou, is a key institution in Guangdong Province’s high-level university development initiative. The university previously sent outstanding students to the University of Macau for study tours in 2021 and 2023. The Centre for Continuing Education at the University of Macau will continue to promote the development of new models for continuing education cooperation in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area through cross-city exchange and collaboration.
