EU students on full-time bachelor's programmes at the University of Malta, MCAST and ITS pay no tuition fees, while non-EU students pay – e.g. €8,500 a year for a BA in History at UM. The University of Malta has around 1,900 international students from 127 countries, and English is enough for most casual jobs. Find out where to look for housing and what around €900–1,400 a month covers.
Malta has no central entrance exam for international applicants. The institution checks whether your certificate and exam subjects meet the programme requirements – for example, the BA in History at UM requires a pass in history at Advanced Level.
Maltese applicants take the MATSEC exams. At UM, the International Baccalaureate (IB) and the European Baccalaureate are treated like local qualifications.
