The university's predecessor was the Graduate School and Open College of the private University of East Asia established in 1981. After the acquisition of the University of East Asia and its Polytechnic College by the Government of Macau in 1988, the Graduate School and Open College remained to be private-owned and merged to form East Asia Open College in 1991. The college changed its name to Asia International Open University (Macau) in 1992. The institute changed to its current name in 2011.[3] The university offers doctorate, master, bachelor's degree programmes, as well as pre-college study courses.[4]
The university was located in a commercial complex called Royal Center Building on Avenida do Dr. Rodrigo Rodrigues. In 2015, the university headquarters moved back to the original site of University of Macau. The Taipa Campus is located in the heart of the South China Sea, the Pearl River and Macao.
