Study in Malta

In short

How the education system works in Malta

Higher education in Malta follows a Bologna Process structure. Undergraduate degrees typically last for three years, leading to a Bachelor's qualification. Postgraduate studies include Master's degrees, usually lasting one or two years, and doctoral programmes, which involve extended research and a dissertation. The teaching style often combines lectures, seminars, and practical work, with an emphasis on student participation. The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System is used to measure academic workload.

Language requirements

English is an official language in Malta and is widely used in higher education. Therefore, international students often need to demonstrate proficiency in English. Commonly accepted tests include the International English Language Testing System and the Test of English as a Foreign Language. Some institutions may also accept other recognised English language qualifications.

Scholarships, funding and sports awards

Scholarships for international students in Malta are available, though they are not as widespread as in some larger countries. Government schemes may exist for specific programmes or regions, and individual institutions sometimes offer their own merit-based or need-based aid. International students should anticipate that they will likely need to cover a significant portion of their tuition and living expenses themselves.

Sports scholarships are not a prominent feature of the Maltese higher education system. While some institutions may have sports facilities and clubs, dedicated athletic scholarships for international students are uncommon. Students interested in combining sports with their studies should inquire directly with the institutions about any potential support or opportunities.

After you graduate

After completing their studies in Malta, international graduates may have options to remain in the country for work, depending on their qualifications and current immigration policies. The rules regarding post-study work visas and residency can change, so it is essential for students to consult official government sources and the relevant authorities for the most up-to-date information.
