Macau Inter-University Institute (IIUM, zh-t|t=澳門高等校際學院; _pt. Instituto Inter-Universitário de Macau) was created in 1996 as an institution of higher education. It was jointly founded 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.

IIUM 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 some interesting Language Programs which include the teaching of Putonghua (Mandarin), English, Japanese, and Portuguese.

As its name suggests, IIUM is located in Macau, a dynamic and bustling city known for its cultural heritage that showcases the harmonious blending of the cultures of the East and the West. Macau is also a popular gateway to Mainland China and studying at IIUM is itself an interesting way of studying in an environment that provides both an experience of Chinese culture with the availability of services and facilities that are at par with those normally found in developed countries.
