=== Collaboration ===

A collaboration agreement was signed between the University and the [[British Columbia Open University]] of Canada to enable Macau and Hong Kong students to earn a Bachelor of Business Administration degree with Canadian credential. The University has been actively organizing and participating in different international academic conferences.

The University always maintains close cooperation with institutions of higher education in China. In 1993, the University established the East Asia International Institute in Shanghai offering a wide range of high level business studies programs that were highly valued by both the community and the authorities. In 1997, agreement was signed with [[Shanghai Television University]] (the pioneer of distant learning in China) to establish a sister-institution relationship. The University has launched several high level Business Administration programs in different parts of Mainland China in conjunction with Mainland institutions. On the other hand, in response to the demand in Hong Kong and Macau on the knowledge of China trade and China law, the University has launched various Diploma programs on China law, China finance/banking, China finance/accounting, China trade and China public administration to the community. Currently, the University is developing a series of e-learning programmes.
