Additional Information

The University of Malta aims to attract high-caliber students from countries outside the European Union/EEA. To achieve this, the university offers tuition fee waivers ranging from 40 to 100 percent, which are awarded to the most deserving students. It’s important to note that certain programs may still require bench fees, which are additional fees related to specific programs.

The fee waiver provided will cover the regular duration of the program that the student is enrolled in. However, it’s essential to understand that if there is a need for an extension of the study period, it does not guarantee eligibility for a fee waiver. Extensions of the study period may not necessarily be eligible for a fee waiver, and further assessment or conditions may apply in such cases.
