Overview

Malta offers English-medium study, but fees and entry requirements depend on the institution and programme. Start with a recognised qualification and a written fee quotation. University scholarship listings can be nationality- or subject-specific, so check eligibility before planning your budget around an award.

How the system works

Malta has public and private higher-education providers. Use the Malta Further and Higher Education Authority information linked by the Commission to check the provider and qualification; a school’s branding is not enough. European Commission: study in Malta

Study levels

Bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral options are available. Research applicants should ask the department whether a position has a stipend, salary, fee waiver or no attached funding. European Commission: study in Malta

Tuition and living costs

For the University of Malta, check the Fees tab in the course finder. The offer letter identifies applicable deposit requirements and deadlines; additional bench fees may apply. These arrangements should not be generalised to every Maltese provider. University of Malta: tuition fees

Scholarships and funding

The University of Malta directory includes nationality- and subject-specific schemes. Read the individual terms rather than assuming that every international applicant qualifies. No universal Belarusian scholarship is established by this directory. University of Malta: scholarships

Admissions

Apply using the chosen institution’s instructions. Ask whether your previous award meets both general entry and subject requirements, and whether a preparatory course would qualify for progression to the intended degree.

Application periods

Confirm the application, deposit and latest-arrival dates separately. International document assessment and residence processing should be included in the timetable; check whether deferral preserves an offer or scholarship.

Language requirements

English is a principal language of higher education. Ask the programme which proficiency evidence it accepts, including any exemptions and placement-specific requirements. European Commission: study in Malta

Recognition of Belarusian qualifications

Ask the admissions office whether it needs an assessment from the Maltese recognition service in addition to its own academic review. For transfer, request a written credit decision before withdrawing from your current institution.

Residence and work

The Commission’s Malta profile links to immigration information. Confirm your visa/residence route with the competent authority and ask separately about employment permission and conditions. Do not assume that enrolment alone permits immediate work. European Commission: study in Malta

Next steps

  1. Verify the provider and award.
