MUST is the first international comprehensive research university approved by the Macau SAR government after Macau's return to China. It is a member of the International Association of Universities, the Association of Universities of Asia and the Pacific, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao University Cooperation Alliance, China University Planetary Science Alliance, and Jiangsu-Hong Kong-Macau University Alliance. The university excels in disciplines such as engineering, computer science, and materials science. In May 2024, Beihang President Wang Yunpeng visited MUST and signed an inter-university cooperation agreement. The two institutions have since achieved fruitful results in talent cultivation, faculty exchanges, and scientific research collaboration.
