University admission in Europe

You apply directly to the institution through its online form. At the University of Malta you choose your programme and then – as an applicant with foreign qualifications – the "Overseas Qualifications" option. Applications for the year starting in October open in November of the previous year.

Deadlines: according to Study in Europe, for programmes starting in October they usually fall in June or July. At the University of Malta the final (late application) deadline for 2026/27 was 15 September 2026 at 14:00. Each programme may, however, have its own deadlines.

With a secondary school leaving certificate from abroad you must meet the requirements of your chosen programme – often passes in specific subjects at the right level. You also need proof of English (see: Language). The programme description gives the exact list of documents.

If you come from outside the EU, apply well before the deadline: you need your letter of acceptance to apply for a study visa, and the visa must be issued before you travel (see: Residence and formalities).

For a master's programme you need a bachelor's degree in a related field.
