Courses at GBS Malta

GBS Malta follows a rolling admissions policy, so you can apply at any time of the year. Nevertheless, to enable sufficient time for visa application, documentation, and accommodation reservation, international students are strongly advised to apply at least 3–4 months ahead of their most preferred intake. GBS Malta generally has several intakes throughout the year, particularly for high-demand courses such as Business and Management.

Malta's student life is fairly inexpensive compared to most other Western European nations. Foreign students, on average, will pay anywhere from EUR 600 to EUR 900 per month, depending on lifestyle and accommodation. Flats shared with others will cost about EUR 250 to EUR 450/month, private flats about EUR 700/month. Food, transport, phone bills, and hobbies are within reach, and there are student concessions available for transport and leisure activities. Home cooking, student meal plans, and taking advantage of free cultural events can make significant savings. Malta's pleasant climate also lowers the cost of heating expenses. Malta is not the most economical destination in Europe, but it is a great value for the quality of life, security, and ease of access to education and the provision of part-time job opportunities. Overall, it's a sensible option for students who want a cost-effective European experience.

While Malta provides a safe, sunny, and affordable European learning experience, there are some restrictions students must keep in mind. Malta is an island nation, and therefore, foreign students might not have vast university and campus facility options. Compared to nations with humongous learning centres, Malta has fewer universities, and the majority run on one or two small campuses. Rents are also expensive in touristy areas such as St. Julian's. Public transport is cheap but may be unreliable during peak hours. The local employment market is limited and highly competitive for part-time or post-study work in specialised fields. Lastly, while English is prevalent, some elementary knowledge of Maltese can be useful in certain local workplaces. Overall, students feel that the sacrifices are worthwhile for the security, way of life, and the potential to earn a UK-accredited degree on the continent of Europe.
