About Malta

Jewel in the Mediterranean

Blessed with sun throughout the year and set in crystal clear waters, Malta and its sister islands of Gozo and Comino offer an all-round experience where complete relaxation can easily give way to one's urge to discover the Maltese Islands' many cultural, artistic and natural treasures.  Malta's history spans 7,000 years and its strategic location in the middle of the Mediterranean has always been coveted by all the major powers throughout the region. Past empires from the Phoenicians to the Romans, the Knights of Malta and more recently the British Empire have all left their own indelible mark on Malta giving it its rich history.

English, Culture and sea

Though essentially Mediterranean in character, the islands are also steeped in British tradition, thus giving visiting students the best of both worlds. Moreover, the unique blend of the tradional and the cosmopolitan, of rural tranquility and the buzz of a sea resort, will certainly give you something to write home about!

So very close

With the Maltese Islands being within a couple of hours from most central European airports, and with many scheduled and low-fare airlines linking Malta to many other European and other countries, getting here could not be easier.
