MBA/PGDM

Financing an international MBA can be a challenge, but Malta offers a variety of scholarships that ease the burden for Indian and other international students. Universities such as GBS Malta and Global College Malta provide merit-based and excellence scholarships that can cover up to 50–100% of tuition fees for deserving candidates. Additionally, some external opportunities, like Erasmus+ or private Indian foundations, may support students depending on eligibility. While Malta government-funded scholarships are limited and usually geared towards EU students, MBA aspirants can still benefit from institutional awards designed to attract global talent. The following are some of the most popular scholarships:

• Malta Government Endeavour II Scholarship Scheme
• Inlaks Shivdasani Foundation Scholarship
• JN Tata Endowment Loan Scholarships
• Commonwealth Shared Scholarship
• Islands & Small State Institute (ISSI) Scholarships
• Narotam Sekhsaria Foundation Scholarship
• Erasmus+ Mobility Top-up
• KC Mahindra Scholarships for Postgraduate Studies

After completing an MBA in Malta, graduates can apply for a post-study work visa valid for up to nine months. This visa allows them to stay in Malta while seeking employment related to their MBA specialisation in sectors such as finance, consulting, and technology. To qualify, graduates must submit proof of degree completion, a valid residence permit, and evidence of sufficient funds. During this period, graduates can accept job offers and later switch to a work permit tied to their employment. This extension helps bridge the gap between academic life and professional careers and allows MBA graduates to gain valuable local work experience.
