Study abroad at Malta

Malta is an English-speaking Mediterranean island nation, a full member of the European Union, Schengen Area, and Commonwealth. Anchored by the prestigious University of Malta (founded in 1592) and accredited international institutions, higher education is delivered 100% in English across all faculties. Malta is renowned for internationally recognized degrees in General Medicine, Tourism and Hospitality, Information Technology, Maritime Law, and International Business. Students benefit from year-round Mediterranean sunshine, high safety, European Schengen mobility, the right to work up to 20 hours per week, and a 6-month post-study work permit.

Tuition fees in Malta for non-EU/EEA international students are very competitive compared to other English-speaking European destinations. Bachelor's degree programs in Business, Humanities, and Social Sciences range from €6,000 to €8,500 per year. Science, Engineering, and IT bachelor's degrees range between €8,500 and €10,800 per year. The Doctor of Medicine and Surgery (MD) program costs approximately €26,000 per year.
