Why You Should Study in Malta
Surrounded by water, Malta, like any other island, is a land of seafood, fishing boats and the most beautiful diving waters. As English is an official language of Malta along with Maltese this may just be the perfect place for your study abroad experience.
The Maltese educational system is very similar to the British one. Most of the colleges and universities in Malta are clustered around the capital Valletta, on the north-east coast of the island.
The largest of these is the University of Malta. Situated at Tal-Qroqq, the University of Malta is the state’s highest teaching institution. Mainly state financed, it is open to all those who have the requisite qualifications. The degree courses at the University are designed to produce highly qualified professionals, with experience of research, who will play key roles in industry, commerce and public affairs in general.
We have excellent sources of information on every aspect of student life, helping you get the most out of your experience.
For students who want to develop their English language level, Malta is also home to a large number of English language schools. Since both Maltese and English are official languages in Malta the teaching in Maltese schools is also conducted in both languages. In higher education most courses are taught entirely in English and, with the exception of law, all courses are recognized internationally.
Food, transportation, living expenses, and tuition are all very economical. Despite its small size, Malta is surprisingly rich in culture and history. Malta has long been a Mecca for English-learners, with its great climate and low cost of living making it an attractive alternative to the UK, the Americas, and Oceania.
