Your learning experience

Why study in Malta? Match the course to your goals.

Look at what you will learn, how the qualification is delivered and the support available throughout your studies.

01

English-language study options

Compare the programme’s teaching language, admission requirements and actual award rather than assuming every course has the same conditions.

02

Different study areas

Explore suitable business, technology, humanities, tourism and other programmes. Match the subject and qualification level to your goals.

03

A Mediterranean setting

Plan for the real location, accommodation market, transport and everyday needs alongside the study experience.

04

Qualification-focused planning

Check the provider and programme’s recognition, progression and professional implications before choosing a course.

After +2, bachelor’s and beyond

Plan your degree study in Malta.

After +2, compare recognised undergraduate programmes and any appropriate pathway. For postgraduate study, check your prior degree, subject prerequisites, experience and the final qualification awarded.

  • Check recognition of your previous qualification and relevant subject prerequisites.
  • Read the course structure, teaching language and expected completion time.
  • For a pathway, verify progression and any credit-transfer conditions.
  • For research study, investigate supervisor fit, facilities and confirmed funding.

Admission and permission to study

Connect your offer with the correct immigration route.

Nepali applicants must follow the applicable long-stay study-visa process and residence requirements. The University of Malta instructs third-country nationals studying for at least one semester to apply for a D study visa, with an e-residence process when the stay requires it.

  • Confirm the current official process for a Nepali applicant.
  • Keep identity, academic and financial documents consistent.
  • Check any translations, legalisation, insurance and appointment requirements.
  • Follow your institution’s instructions alongside the government checklist.

Scholarships & funding

Funding your study in Malta.

Investigate institution-specific funding, fee reductions or research awards only where you meet their stated eligibility. Check the award’s value, renewal conditions and remaining fees in writing. Public study support is not automatically available to every international student.

  • Check the award’s deadline, eligibility and any separate application.
  • Confirm whether support covers tuition, living costs or a specific expense.
  • Read continuation conditions and whether the amount is annual or programme-total.
  • Subtract only confirmed written support from the amount you must fund.

Financial evidence · check the application stage

Financial evidence depends on the visa or residence stage. University of Malta guidance currently describes a minimum €950 for each month for its e-residence application, excluding tuition. Confirm the current Identità checklist, required period, evidence and any institution-specific instructions.

Keep an explanation and evidence of where funds come from, how they are accessible and how later study years will be supported. Future work income is not a substitute for reliable resources.

Study → develop skills → next step

Understand the Malta student journey.

Keep your academic purpose and permission conditions central at each stage.

01

Study and maintain your conditions

Complete enrolment, meet academic and attendance expectations, arrange accommodation and health cover, and follow the conditions attached to your permission.

02

Check work conditions

Student employment is conditional on the study route and required authorisation. Check current Identità and employment-authority rules before accepting work. A study visa is not an unrestricted work permit and does not grant a general right to work across the EU.

03

Plan after graduation

After study, check whether a graduate job-seeking or employment route applies to your qualification and circumstances. A later permission requires its own eligibility and process; admission does not guarantee a job or permanent residence.

Recheck the official rules when choosing a course and again when applying for any later permission. The appropriate qualification can support your development; employment and later immigration outcomes depend on separate decisions.

Plan the accepted language or selection test and organise accurate academic records, references and statements as required.

04

Application and offer review

Follow the real deadline. Review the offer, tuition and compulsory fees, deposit, scholarship conditions and refund terms.

05

Funding and permission to study

Nepali applicants must follow the applicable long-stay study-visa process and residence requirements. The University of Malta instructs third-country nationals studying for at least one semester to apply for a D study visa, with an e-residence process when the stay requires it.

06

Arrival and enrolment

Follow your approval and entry instructions, complete required registration and enrolment, and keep institutional and support contacts available.

Your application evidence

Prepare documents for Malta with a clear checklist.

  • Use names, dates and qualification details consistently.
  • Confirm document validity, translation and recognition requirements.
  • Retain original records and the required certified or electronic copies.
  • Review any additional requests from the institution or government.

English and other entry requirements

Confirm the programme’s accepted English tests and any institution-specific evidence. An English-speaking destination does not remove academic entry criteria or a requirement for formal English results.

Plan enough time to prepare, sit the accepted test and obtain results before the relevant deadline. Check the required component scores and result validity, not just the overall headline score.

An important Malta planning check

Verify the provider and the exact programme.

Check the licensed institution, accredited course, awarding body and Malta Qualifications Framework level. A provider’s general licence does not mean every advertised programme has identical recognition or visa arrangements.

Use the linked official sources and ask for a checklist that matches your qualification, nationality, course and application date.

Questions before you apply

Study in Malta FAQs for Nepali students

Practical answers about courses, intakes, costs and your student journey.

How can I study in Malta from Nepal?

Choose a suitable institution and programme, check academic and language requirements, prepare a sustainable budget and obtain the required admission documents. Nepali applicants must follow the applicable long-stay study-visa process and residence requirements. The University of Malta instructs third-country nationals studying for at least one semester to apply for a D study visa, with an e-residence process when the stay requires it. MKS Education can help organise your preparation.

What are the Malta intakes for 2027?

Autumn is an important degree-entry period, with February or other starts at selected institutions. There is no single Malta-wide application deadline. Confirm the programme, provider and the earlier deadline applying to visa-requiring applicants.

What is the cost to study in Malta?

Use the actual programme’s tuition and compulsory fees, then add housing, meals, insurance, transport, materials, government charges and travel. The examples on this page have their own fee years and calculation bases; they are not all-inclusive quotes or fixed prices for every future intake.

What financial evidence is needed for study in Malta?

Financial evidence depends on the visa or residence stage. University of Malta guidance currently describes a minimum €950 for each month for its e-residence application, excluding tuition. Confirm the current Identità checklist, required period, evidence and any institution-specific instructions.

What living budget should I plan for Malta?

Obtain current accommodation, meals, transport and insurance quotes for your location. A financial-evidence threshold is not an all-inclusive living budget; add deposits and initial setup costs.

Can I study in Malta after +2?

After +2, compare recognised undergraduate programmes and any appropriate pathway. For postgraduate study, check your prior degree, subject prerequisites, experience and the final qualification awarded. Entry depends on the actual institution’s assessment; a general destination guide is not an admission decision.

Is IELTS required to study in Malta?

Confirm the programme’s accepted English tests and any institution-specific evidence. An English-speaking destination does not remove academic entry criteria or a requirement for formal English results. Confirm both institutional admission and any separate immigration requirements.

Are scholarships available for Nepali students in Malta?

Investigate institution-specific funding, fee reductions or research awards only where you meet their stated eligibility. Check the award’s value, renewal conditions and remaining fees in writing. Public study support is not automatically available to every international student.

Can I work while studying in Malta?

Student employment is conditional on the study route and required authorisation. Check current Identità and employment-authority rules before accepting work. A study visa is not an unrestricted work permit and does not grant a general right to work across the EU.

What options can follow graduation in Malta?

After study, check whether a graduate job-seeking or employment route applies to your qualification and circumstances. A later permission requires its own eligibility and process; admission does not guarantee a job or permanent residence.

What documents should I prepare for Malta?

Prepare identity and academic records, the appropriate admission and course documents, English evidence, financial records, accommodation, insurance and any required translations or legalisation. Follow the current visa/residence checklist for the actual stage.

What should I check about a Malta institution and qualification?

Check the licensed institution, accredited course, awarding body and Malta Qualifications Framework level. A provider’s general licence does not mean every advertised programme has identical recognition or visa arrangements.

Do admission and a student permit guarantee employment or permanent residence?

No. Admission, permission to study, student work and any later immigration route have separate requirements. Choose a qualification for its academic and career value, use credible funding, and check the current rules for your own circumstances.
