Studying in Malta

Hello everyone,

Would you recommend studying abroad in Malta?

Every year, 4 million young people from all over the world choose to study abroad for one semester or a full academic year. Would you encourage them to come and study in Malta?

In your opinion, what are the most prestigious colleges and universities in the country/area? Are these free of charge? If not, are tuition fees expensive? Are there many foreign students enrolled in these schools/colleges/universities? What is the main language of instruction at the university?

Thank you in advance for sharing!

It really depends on the person. For as small as Malta is, there are still plenty of distractions and ways to get in trouble. There is also the problem of the pollution here - people who come here for an outdoor, Mediterranean lifestyle can be very disappointed by the dense smog, the trash & litter, and the water pollution.

If they are really coming to Malta because they are serious about their studies and this just happens to be a place with a good program, I'd encourage it. The people I have met here who are doing research or studying have been focused and accomplished, and you can develop an international network in your field very quickly, as half the people here are not from here.
