RECTOR'S
                                    WELCOME MESSAGE

                                    At USJ, East and West continue the centuries-old dialogue through which Macao ac-
                                    quired its unique identity. Our close links to the Catholic University of Portugal and to
                                    Catholic universities in Angola, Brazil and Mozambique, set us in the privileged position
                                    to contribute to Macao as a bridge between China and Portuguese-speaking countries.

                                    We use English as the medium for internal communication and much of our teaching,
                                    since this allows us to involve staff and welcome students from many parts of the
                                    world, while providing our graduates with an important skill for today’s globalised
                                    world. Our programmes include modules to broaden student’s outlook on the world
                                    and stimulate creative thinking.

                                    We care for the professional competence of our graduates, but we are also mindful
                                    that they should experience a truly university environment, where they learn to anal-
                                    yse, question, evaluate and decide as responsible members of their community.

                                                                                                          Prof. Fr. Peter Stilwell

ROOTED IN TRADITION
AND CULTURAL HERITAGE
                                     The University of Saint Joseph (Macao) is a Catholic university of China,
                                     rooted in a long tradition of intercultural exchange that has been the
                                     hallmark of Catholic higher education in Macao since the College of
                                     Saint Paul, founded in 1594. The project of the Jesuit fathers Valignano,
                                     Ruggieri and Ricci inspires our view of higher education with a universal
                                     character capable of promoting creative dialogue between the cultural,
                                     scientific, ethical and philosophical traditions of China and Europe.
                                     The combined local and Portuguese roots of the University make it
                                     particularly suited to embody at the academic level Macao’s strategic
                                     objective to act as a platform from which to boost relations between
                                     China and Portuguese-speaking countries.

                                     ETHICAL AND HUMANISTIC VALUES
                                     In recognition of its heritage, USJ has developed as an
                                     international academy in which East meets West. Our
                                     university’s commitment to academic excellence and to
                                     whole person development fosters our vision of a caring,
                                     ethically responsible, economically, socially and environ-
                                     mentally sustainable society.

                                     “Scientia et Virtus” (Knowledge and Virtue), motto of the
                                     Catholic Diocese of Macao, guides our academic commu-
                                     nity to a harmonious pursuit of truth and the common

MASTER OF RELIGIOUS STUDIES

                                      The Faculty of Religious Studies (FRS) is a community of scholars and students
                                      engaged in research, teaching and studying the disciplines of Philosophy and
                                      Theology, together with other necessary, ancillary disciplines. Traditionally, our fields
                                      of study were referred to as the Handmaid and the Queen of the Sciences and here,
                                      at the University of Saint Joseph, we can proudly claim our place at the heart of the
                                      academic work and mission of this Catholic University.

                                      Two giants of Catholic philosophy and theology give us our basic orientation. St. Thomas
                                      Aquinas, the great Dominican theologian, teaches us that human nature is created with
                                      the capacity to know and love God; he is naturally capax Dei. St. Augustine, the other
                                      guide, is often called the teacher of grace, doctor gratia. He reminds us that we long to
                                      know God in the depths of our hearts and we cannot be at rest until we do. Created to
                                      live in communion with his Creator each human being is a free and intelligent individual,
                                      integrated in the community with his or her own duties and rights and the connecting
                                      link between the two great spheres of reality – the material and the spiritual – and fully
                                      belonging to both. Accordingly, wherever there is human life, there is religion.

                                      Understanding religion in its historical, social, political, intellectual, and artistic aspects
                                      is, therefore, self-evidently important. Nevertheless, whilst necessary to understand
                                      the human condition, such an approach is not sufficient, since it does not fully engage
                                      with the truth claims of religion in general and specifically with the Christian claim of
                                      God’s definitive and full self-revelation in Jesus Christ. FRS provides a venue within
                                      the University of Saint Joseph and the wider local community for the exploration of the
                                      religious, historical, intellectual, social, and cultural aspects of the various religious
                                      traditions and especially those of the Christian faith. It is both a place where religion
                                      can be encountered and studied and one in which all can come to engage with the
                                      Catholic faith, understood as a life-giving sacra doctrina, Holy Teaching. Being situated
                                      in Macao, FRS continues the long tradition of dialogue between faith and culture.

                                         The study of the Humanities concerns how we document, describe, understand and
                                         reflect upon the human experience: essentially whatever humans have thought,
                                         written, spoken or created throughout history.

                                         At USJ, we offer students a range of core Humanities disciplines including Philos-
                                         ophy, Chinese and Portuguese languages and cultures, and the study of Literature,
                                         Linguistics, History and Heritage. In each area of studies, we are concerned with
                                         critical, logical thinking and observation, the ability to analyse, evaluate and report
                                         through clearly expressed language. Our students are also encouraged to broaden
                                         their learning experience by participating in international exchange programmes.

                                         Our central goal is to enrich the knowledge and understanding of our students about
                                         their world, while imparting fundamental practical skills. The study of the Humani-
                                         ties opens the door to a diverse range of career paths.

                                        As one of the pioneers offering an Entrepreneurship stream in a Bachelor of Business
                                        Administration programme, our School of Business and Law focuses on innovation
                                        and social responsibility. We train young entrepreneurs in starting their own busi-
                                        ness, or as corporate entrepreneurs promoting new initiatives in large organisations.

                                        Our programmes are designed for whole person development, training leaders not
                                        only in their business skills but also in their social and humanistic values. Our vision
                                        is that our students join society to apply their leadership capacity in creating social
                                        change, as well as offering solutions to improve people’s lives through innovative
                                        ventures and social enterprises.

                                        At the School of Business and Law, we adopt an international style of teaching
                                        through various methods including problem-solving, case studies and project-based
                                        learning, to name a few. We aim to offer a unique experience to our students where
                                        internationalisation meets local tradition. We do this through a faculty of multiple
                                        nationalities, students from different parts of the worlds, a mixture of global and local
