FAQ

Common Questions

Malta has state schools (free for residents), Church schools, and private international schools offering Cambridge, IB, and national curricula. At university level, the University of Malta is the main public institution, alongside several private and specialist colleges. English-language programmes are widely available across all levels.

Yes. English is one of Malta's two official languages and the primary language of instruction at international schools, private colleges, and the University of Malta. State schools teach in both Maltese and English. This makes Malta one of the few EU countries where non-Maltese families can enrol without a language barrier.

For international and private schools, applications typically open 6–12 months before the intake date, with some schools having limited places that fill early. University applications have their own annual cycles. We recommend starting the process as soon as the decision to relocate is made early engagement avoids intake delays.

EU and EEA nationals do not require a visa to study in Malta. Non-EU nationals attending a course of more than 90 days will typically require a student residence permit or visa, depending on their nationality and the length of study. We coordinate the visa application alongside the school or university enrolment timeline.

Yes. Family reunification permits are available for parents and dependent family members joining a student in Malta. We coordinate the family residency application alongside the student's enrolment so both processes complete on a compatible timeline rather than in sequence.

Yes. We can refer students to English language schools in Malta or abroad for preparation, and advise on recognised English proficiency tests (IELTS, Cambridge, etc.) accepted by institutions. For younger students applying to schools with informal language assessments, we provide guidance on what to expect.
