Malta is unusual in Europe: English is an official language, so classes and daily life are in English. Students on longer courses apply for a national (type D) visa and a residence permit through Malta’s immigration authority.

Who Malta suits best
Malta often suits students who want an English-speaking European experience with smaller institutions and a more personal pace. Because course quality varies between providers, we check accreditation and outcomes carefully before you apply.
