Malta has seen a growing popularity in tourism in recent years. But this European country, which lies right in the middle of the Mediterranean sea, is not only a good destination for tourism but also for education. Malta has been under the British Empire for more than 150 years and as a result, English is widely spoken there and is commonly used as a medium of instruction in Maltese Universities.

Plus, the tuition fee, as well as accommodation and other costs, are much less in Malta than in countries such as the US and UK. Due to this, Malta is becoming the choice of many students for pursuing further education.

Although Malta does not have a lot of studies abroad opportunities, it does have a few good programs for international students as well as for its own students. In fact, the University of Malta is an institution of international repute. It welcomes hundreds of students from other countries each year and provides them with a high-quality education in different fields of study. Co-operation and joint degree programs bring more international students to Malta every year.
