大部分書院學術人員擁有博士學位

澳大書院有統一的人員編制，每間書院均有全職駐院教學人員，分別為院長、副院長及兩名導師。書院院長由具卓越學術研究成果、豐富教學與行政經驗，及在專業領域有廣闊國際關係網絡的教授出任，引領書院的總體發展。副院長至少取得博士學位且在書院教學或學院教學有資深經驗，協助院長監督書院日常運作、學生事務及書院秩序。兩位書院導師一般為博士學位持有者（少數為已進入完成階段的博士生），他們協助院長及副院長為近五百名的學生落實書院教育。教學人員為書院社群的一員，與學生們同宿共膳，他們通過參與學生們的日常生活，認識每位學生，並引導學生互相影響及學習。

All RCs in UM have a standardised staffing organisation. Full-time resident academic staff include the College Master, the Associate Master and two Resident Fellows. The College Master directs the overall development of the RC. They are normally accomplished professors with excellent academic and research achievements, who possess rich teaching and administrative experience and maintain an extensive international network in their fields of expertise. The Associate Master, who is doctoral degree holder with extensive RC education or faculty teaching experience, oversees the day-to-day operation of the college, student affairs and discipline in the college. The two Resident Fellows, most of them are doctoral degree holders (some of them are PhD candidates in the final stage of their studies), assist the College Master and the Associate Master in the implementation of RC education for around 500 students. As members of the college community, the resident academic staff share the same living environment with the students. Through involving themselves in students’ daily lives, they get to know each of them and guide them to influence and learn from each other.
