The Maltese islands are home to a remarkable cultural mixture between the ancient and the modern. Although the country harbours one of the oldest universities in the Mediterranean, the higher education system is future-oriented and blends tradition with innovation.
Due to the size of Malta, there is only one university and one vocational college made up of a number of individual institutions. However, they both have a good international reputation. About 600 full-time international students and about 500 exchange and transfer students come every year to Malta from about 80 different countries. The country maintains partnerships and links with education institutions all over the world.
Why study in Malta?
1. It’s free for EU/EEA students
If you’re from the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA) and want to study at the University of Malta — the only public education institution — you don’t have to pay any tuition fees for most academic programmes. However, there are exceptions (some courses in Business, Culinary Arts, and others).
2. English is an official language
If you’re worried about language barriers or you wouldn’t feel comfortable learning another language, rejoice! You don’t have to! English is an official language in Malta, being widely spoken by almost all citizens.
So, whether you want to ask for directions, find a missing item on your grocery list at the supermarket, or travel around, you’ll always be able to ask for help and communicate with ease.
3. Malta is a paradise for sports and outdoor enthusiasts
Malta offers an incredibly wide range of activities for people who enjoy being active, travelling, and pushing themselves. In your spare time, feel free to try any of the following adrenaline-spiking activities: hiking, water sports, rock climbing, scuba diving, flyboarding, etc.
Not interested in any of these? Then, simply relax on the beach, enjoy the warmth of the sun, and the breeze of the sea.
