Student life - adventure and growth
Life on a sunny island
The sun, sea and Mediterranean climate make everyday life simply more enjoyable. Malta is the sunniest country in Europe - with over 300 sunny days a year.
International atmosphere
Malta attracts students from many countries, so you will easily become part of an international community. It is a great place if you want to improve your English, meet people and experience a more open environment.
A more relaxed atmosphere at universities
Malta has a more direct, less rigid atmosphere than many other education systems. This makes it easier to settle into university life from the very first weeks, while studying itself is much more enjoyable.
Study-life balance
Malta makes it easier to maintain a balance between your studies and personal life. You can grow academically while also enjoying the weather, spending time with friends and life beyond university.

Important information
At the University of Malta, you can apply for only 2 degree programmes, so choosing the right programme is very important. You should also pay attention to any specific requirements for individual programmes (e.g. relevant advanced-level subjects, an interview or a portfolio).
How to get admitted?
The success of your application depends on your school-leaving exam results, final grades, CV, personal statement and sometimes an admissions interview - the last three are your opportunity to stand out. The University of Malta has strict minimum thresholds, including an average school-leaving exam score of approx. 65% (from any 3 exams), with possible additional requirements for specific school-leaving exam subjects and required grades in particular subject groups.
Language requirements
A language certificate is mandatory. The most commonly accepted qualifications are IELTS Academic, TOEFL iBT and Cambridge C1 Advanced or C2 Proficiency. A B2 level is required for virtually all degree programmes. You must have the certificate at the time of application
Application documents
In addition to certificates, certified translations and a language certificate, it is worth preparing a strong CV and personal statement. In Malta, these elements can genuinely help you stand out, especially for programmes with limited places. Additionally, at MCAST it may be necessary to obtain additional accreditation issued by an external institution.
