About the university
Malta's national university and one of the oldest in Europe, tracing its roots to a Jesuit college founded in 1592. The main Msida campus sits a short bus ride from Valletta, with English as the language of instruction across almost every course.

The vibe
What it actually feels like.
- A genuinely European student mix, drawn by English-taught degrees inside the EU on a Mediterranean island.
- The Msida campus sits close enough to the coast that a study break can mean a swim.
- Small enough that campus societies and student politics feel personal, not corporate.
Fun things to do
Life outside the lecture hall.
Take the bus to Valletta, twenty minutes away, for an evening among Baroque architecture.
Swim at St George's Bay or Sliema, both a short ride from campus.
Join KSU (the students' council) events — Malta's student scene runs on a packed events calendar.
