“University of Malta”

Overall

The institute of Earth Systems at the University of Malta is relatively new and for this reason is rather small but continuously growing. I have enjoyed my time at this university and am proud to be a student there. My professors are very dedicated to the units that they tech making the experience more enjoyable.

Pros

small classes

Course recommendations

This University gives you the challenge to study at two different faculties at the same time. You yourself have to put some effort finding out which courses are given in which semester. Most of the time the faculty can provide you with a course description or they can be found online. It is wise to check your final course list with the faculty secretary.

Personal comments

Suggestions would be about gathering information. The library is not very up-to-date and computer room has tight opening and closing hours. Within some faculties the communication could be more easy.

Personal comments

Malta is a very small country, so a student will have plenty of time to find everything she/he wants to. The best cities: Valletta, Mdina, Hamrun, Sliema. Valletta - the capital - amazing city. Mdina is the old capital, definitely go to Fontanella tea garden there, they have delicious chocolate and banana cakes! Hamrun is a typical Maltese town, with lots of small local shops. The best chocolaterie is there, not far from the main church. Sliema is the shopping city. Night spot is the only one - Paceville - few streets with all the clubs, pubs, bars on them. Good Irish beer and peeps at O'Ryan's (Spinola bay), rnb dance - Havana, cheap alcohol - almost everywhere. Also definitely go to Gozo (second island, absolutely wonderful) and Comino (third island with only a hotel on it).

I wish I had known...

Getting off the island was a bit more expensive than I had thought it would be.
