      • The University of Saint Joseph (USJ) is a private Catholic university in Macau, China.
      The university was founded in 1996, previously known as Macau Inter-University Institute (Chinese: 澳門高等校際學院; Portuguese: Instituto Inter-Universitário de Macau; IIUM). It was jointly organized by the Catholic University of Portugal and the Diocese of Macau. It is also connected by structural, academic, and social bonds to the special administrative region of Macau, to Portugal, and to mainland China.
      USJ expresses its mission as being a private Catholic university in, of, and for Macao, in, of, and for China, concentrating on post-graduate teaching and research, together with professional training in the liberal arts and social sciences.
      USJ offers a wide range of courses ranging from the humanities to the social and technological sciences. New courses are regularly being added in order to keep pace with the most recent academic and scientific advances in the modern world.
      There are programs for certificates, diplomas, licentiate (undergraduate/bachelor's), master's, and doctoral degrees, and also language programs including the teaching of Putonghua (Mandarin), Portuguese, Japanese, French, and English.


      History


      Catholic higher education in Asia began with the founding, in 1594, of the Colégio de Macau by Fr Alessamdro Valignano SJ. Frs Michele Ruggieri, Matteo Ricci and Adam Schall von Bell SJs studied in Macao, as did St Andrew Kim, the first Korean Martyr. Part of its teaching was transferred to the Seminário de São Jose in 1728 where the teaching of theology, philosophy and religious studies continues to this day (after a 28 year break between 1968 & 1996) as part on USJ's Faculty of Religious Studies and Philosophy.
      In 1996 the formation of IIUM (renamed USJ in 2006) marked the formal resumption of a 400 year tradition.
      In September 2017, the university moved its main campus building to Ilha Verde.
      The university's fourth rector, the Rev'd Prof Stephen Morgan DPhil(Oxon) was elected on 9 March 2020 and installed on 23 May 2020. He is a theologian and ecclesiastical historian who had previously been the university's Dean of the Faculty of Religious Studies.
      In September 2021, the University announced that it had been given permission to recruit students from Mainland China for the first time.

      The university has three campuses: The main campus in Ilha Verde, Nossa Senhora de Fátima (Our Lady of Fátima Parish); its original campus (NAPE1) in Sé (Cathedral Parish); and the Saint Joseph Seminary in São Lourenço (Saint Lawrence).
