Study in Malta

Start Your European Education Journey in Malta

Malta is an attractive European study destination offering internationally recognised qualifications, English-medium study opportunities, a multicultural environment and access to a regulated European higher-education system.

Students can choose from universities and licensed higher-education institutions offering programmes at undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral levels.

The Malta Further and Higher Education Authority (MFHEA) regulates licensed education providers and accredited programmes. Malta’s higher-education qualifications are referenced through the Malta Qualifications Framework (MQF), which is aligned with the European Qualifications Framework.

At Ambassador Global Studies, we provide personalised support throughout your Malta study journey—from course and institution selection to application, admission, scholarships, tuition payment, Student D-Visa preparation, residence-permit guidance, financial documentation, accommodation and pre-departure support.

Why Study in Malta?

Quality-Assured European Education

Students can study with institutions and programmes regulated through Malta’s national higher-education quality-assurance framework.

MFHEA maintains an official register containing licensed education providers and accredited programmes.

Students should always confirm that their chosen institution and programme are properly licensed or accredited before making a final enrolment decision.

European Qualifications Framework

The Malta Qualifications Framework uses eight qualification levels and is aligned with the European Qualifications Framework, helping qualifications to be compared more clearly across Europe.

International Study Environment

Malta attracts students from different countries and offers an international environment for higher education, professional development and research.

Wide Range of Study Options

International students can explore subjects such as:

Business & Management
International Business
Accounting & Finance

Research programmes

Programme availability depends on the institution and intake.

Scholarship Opportunities

Scholarships and funding opportunities may be available through individual Maltese institutions and specific scholarship programmes.

For example, the University of Malta maintains scholarship opportunities for eligible students, although nationality, programme and academic eligibility conditions vary significantly.

Depending on the institution, students may be asked to provide evidence such as:

IELTS Academic
PTE Academic
TOEFL
Other recognised English-language qualifications
Previous education completed in English where accepted
Institution-specific English assessment
Interview

Malta’s current Student National Visa checklist also requires students to demonstrate sufficient language proficiency to undertake their selected course.

Ambassador Global Studies helps students check both the institution’s admission requirement and the relevant visa documentation requirement.

6. Malta Institution Application Assistance

We provide support throughout the admission process.

Our assistance may include:

Application form preparation
Passport checking
Academic certificate review
Transcript review
English-language document review
CV guidance
SOP / Motivation Letter guidance
Work-experience documentation
Recommendation-letter guidance
Research proposal guidance
Portfolio guidance where applicable

7. SOP / Motivation Letter Guidance

Where required, we help students organise a clear and personalised study statement.

This may cover:

Academic background
Professional experience
Why Malta?
Why this institution?
Why this programme?
Relationship with previous studies
Knowledge of the programme
Career objectives
Financial circumstances
Future plans

Students should always submit genuine information based on their actual academic, professional and financial circumstances.

8. Scholarship Assistance

Ambassador Global Studies helps eligible students explore available scholarships and tuition-support opportunities.

Our support may include:

Scholarship search
Eligibility assessment
Merit scholarship guidance
Institution-specific scholarships
Scholarship application assistance
Document checking
Scholarship deadlines
Comparing estimated tuition after scholarship

Scholarship availability depends on the student’s nationality, academic profile, institution, programme and intake.

The University of Malta, for example, maintains a dedicated scholarship section covering currently available opportunities.

Scholarships cannot be guaranteed.

9. Offer / Enrolment Letter Assistance

After reviewing an application, the education provider may issue an enrolment, acceptance or admission letter.

We help students understand:

Academic conditions
English conditions
Tuition fees
Scholarships
Initial payments
Programme duration
MQF level
ECTS credits
Course commencement date
Acceptance deadlines
Required documents
Next visa steps

The current Student National Visa checklist requires the school enrolment letter to clearly identify information including the institution, programme, MQF level, ECTS credits, duration, study mode and weekly course hours.

10. Tuition Fee & Payment Guidance

After receiving an offer, students may need to make the required tuition payment according to the institution’s instructions.

We provide guidance regarding:

Offer acceptance
Tuition fees
Initial deposits
Payment instructions
Payment deadlines
Scholarship deductions
Payment receipts
Visa-related tuition evidence

Proof of payment is among the documents required for Malta Student visa processing.

Payment requirements can vary significantly between education providers.

11. Malta Student D-Visa Guidance

For longer programmes, non-EU students generally need a Malta National D-Visa for study before travelling.

Identità currently states that non-EU students intending to study a programme of 105 days or more must apply for a Student D-Visa before travelling to Malta.

Our guidance may cover:

D-Visa application preparation
VFS appointment preparation
Passport documentation
Enrolment letter
Tuition-payment evidence
Academic documents
English-language documentation
Financial evidence
Sponsor documentation
Insurance
Accommodation
Flight itinerary
Supporting documents

Apply Early

The latest published Student National Visa checklist says an application should be submitted at least 9 weeks before the programme starts.

We therefore recommend preparing the visa file well in advance.

Important: All visa decisions are made solely by the Maltese authorities. Ambassador Global Studies cannot guarantee a visa outcome.

12. Malta Visa Guidance for Bangladeshi Students

Bangladeshi students planning long-term studies in Malta should prepare for the applicable Maltese entry and study-visa procedures before travelling.

For courses meeting the long-study threshold, students should obtain the appropriate Student National D-Visa before travelling.

Our team can help Bangladeshi students understand:

Visa documentation
VFS procedures
Enrolment requirements
Financial evidence
Tuition-payment documents
Sponsor documents
Insurance
Accommodation
Travel preparation

13. Proof of Funds Guidance

Financial documentation is an important component of the Malta Student visa application.

The current official checklist requires:

Bank statements covering the previous 3 months
A recent bank certificate
Evidence of adequate funds for the student’s stay

The required funds must currently amount to at least:

75% of Malta’s National Minimum Wage for each month of study.

If another person is sponsoring the student, additional documentation can include:

Sponsor’s bank statements
Signed sponsor declaration
Sponsor’s identification document

The Student visa checklist also requires a copy of the international bank card the student plans to use to access their funds in Malta.

Because the national minimum wage can change, we recommend calculating the required financial amount according to the rule applicable when the application is submitted rather than publishing one permanent euro figure.

14. Medical & Travel Insurance Guidance

Appropriate insurance is required as part of Malta’s Student visa process.

For students studying MQF Level 5 or above and eligible to apply for a study residence permit after arrival, the current D-Visa checklist requires medical and travel insurance that:

Is valid for the Schengen Area
Provides at least €30,000 medical coverage
Covers at least the first 91 consecutive days
Is valid for study purposes.

Requirements differ for students studying at MQF Level 4 or below.

We help students understand the appropriate insurance requirement for their programme.

15. Accommodation Documentation Guidance

Students need to provide evidence of prospective accommodation during the visa process.

The current Student National Visa checklist requires accommodation evidence for at least the student’s first 14 nights in Malta.

Acceptable arrangements can include:

Institution-provided accommodation
Registered rental accommodation
Accommodation with a host
Hotel
Short-term rental

The accommodation documentation must follow the applicable Identità requirements.

16. Malta Study Residence Permit Guidance

Students undertaking higher-education programmes may also need a Maltese residence permit after arrival.

Identità currently states that students studying at MQF Level 5 or above should apply for a Maltese residence card after arriving in Malta.

Our support can include guidance on:

Residence-permit procedures
Passport documentation
Student enrolment
Tuition-payment evidence
Financial documentation
Accommodation
Health insurance
Academic progress
Supporting documents

The exact requirements depend on the student’s programme and circumstances.

17. Student Residence Permit Renewal Guidance

Students continuing programmes beyond their current authorised stay may need to renew their residence permission.

Renewal can involve demonstrating continued:

Student status
Academic progress
Financial stability
Health insurance
Accommodation
Compliance with study requirements.

Students should maintain satisfactory attendance and academic progress throughout their studies.

18. Visa & Credibility Preparation

Where further assessment is required, Ambassador Global Studies can help students prepare to explain their genuine study plans.

Preparation may include:

Why Malta?
Why this institution?
Why this programme?
Previous academic background
Study gap
Programme content
MQF level
Tuition fees
Financial arrangements
Sponsor information
Accommodation plans
Career objectives
Future plans

Students should always answer truthfully and consistently.

19. Working While Studying in Malta

Eligible international students may have limited opportunities to work while studying.

A Student visa alone does not mean unrestricted employment rights.

Students generally require an Employment Licence / work authorisation through Jobsplus before taking up employment.

Maximum Working Hours

Eligible students may work:

Up to 20 hours per week.

Higher-Education Students

Third-country nationals undertaking a full-time higher-education programme recognised by MQRIC may be allowed to work up to 20 hours per week starting from their first year of study, subject to receiving the necessary work permit.

Other Eligible Students

Certain students undertaking courses exceeding 90 days may only begin working after the first three months of study, subject to applicable Jobsplus conditions and work authorisation.

Students should therefore check the rules applying specifically to their programme and residence status before accepting employment.

20. Internship & Practical Learning Opportunities

Depending on the programme, students may have opportunities involving:

Internships
Industry placements
Practical projects
Work-based learning
Professional training

Availability depends on the education provider and programme.

Students should confirm whether an internship is:

Compulsory or optional
Included in the curriculum
Paid or unpaid
Subject to additional employment authorisation

Ambassador Global Studies helps students review available placement information when comparing courses.

21. Post-Study Opportunity in Malta

Malta currently provides an important option for certain non-EU graduates.

Eligible students who successfully complete a course in Malta at:

MQF Level 5 or above

may be able to apply for a post-study residence permit for up to 9 months to:

Search for employment, or
Explore starting a business related to their field of study.

To qualify, the student must have successfully completed their Maltese programme and hold a valid study residence permit at the relevant time.

Important

The 9-month post-study permit is not itself a full-time work permit.

If the graduate finds employment, the prospective employer will normally need to complete the appropriate work/residence authorisation process before the graduate begins working under the new employment status.

The post-study permit is generally a one-time opportunity and should be applied for while the student’s study residence permit is still valid.

22. Transition from Study to Employment

Students cannot simply convert their study status into unrestricted full-time employment while continuing their programme.

Identità states that a student holding a Student D-Visa should first complete their studies before switching to full-time employment status.

Following successful completion, an eligible graduate may:

Complete Study
↓
Apply for eligible post-study status
↓
Search for suitable employment
↓
Receive Job Offer
↓
Employer / Applicant completes relevant work-permit process
↓
Transition to employment residence status

Eligibility is always subject to the current Maltese immigration and employment rules.

23. Accommodation Guidance

Finding suitable accommodation is an important part of preparing for study in Malta.

Students may consider:

University residence
Student accommodation
Shared apartments
Private rental
Private rooms
Homestay
Temporary accommodation

When selecting accommodation, students should consider:

Distance from campus
Public transportation
Monthly rent
Utilities
Deposit
Contract terms
Safety
Local facilities
Residence-permit requirements

Our team can help students understand accommodation options associated with their chosen institution and location.

24. Travel & Pre-Departure Support

Our support continues after admission and visa preparation.

Pre-departure guidance may include:

Flight planning
Accommodation arrangements
Passport preparation
Student D-Visa
Admission / enrolment documents
Tuition-payment evidence
Financial documents
Insurance
Immigration preparation
Airport-arrival guidance
Baggage preparation
Local transportation
Institution registration
Banking preparation
Mobile/SIM arrangements
European student-life preparation
