110 Your Scholarship in Europe 2008-2009 Malta BASIC <strong>IN</strong>FORMATION ABOUT MALTA The Maltese archipelago basically consists of three islands: Comino, Gozo and Malta. Located in the Mediterranean Sea, just 93 kilometres south of Sicily, the archipelago covers a total surface area of 316 square kilometres with a population of 0.4 million. The largest island of the group is Malta, from which the archipelago takes its name. Valletta, the capital, is the cultural, administrative and commercial centre of the archipelago. Malta is well served with harbors, the main one being Valletta Grand Harbour. The offi cial languages are Maltese and English, but Maltese is described in the Constitution of Malta as the national language. Maltese is a mixed language, being basically Semitic and super-structurally Romance with some infl uence from the English. Italian is also widely understood and spoken in Malta. Malta became an independent state in September 1964, after being under British rule since 1800. THE HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM Higher education is mainly provided by the University of Malta. University level fi rst stage Certifi cates, diplomas and Bachelors degrees are awarded in such fi elds as nursing, diplomatic studies, management, administration, law, librarian science, religious studies and political science after a course lasting from one to three years. A Bachelors (general) degree is received in three years. A Bachelors (honours) degree is received in four or fi ve years, depending on the fi eld of study. University level second stage The second stage leads to a Masters degree after a period of one to two years. Candidates must hold an appropriate fi rst degree with at least second-class honours. In special circumstances, candidates without an honors degree may be admitted after taking a one-year preparatory course and successfully passing a qualifying examination. Masters degree courses require candidates to submit a dissertation in addition to successfully completing the required courses. Doctorate degrees Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) and Doctor of Law (LL.D.) degrees are awarded by the faculties of Medicine and Law respectively, at the end of a 5- or 6-year course. A Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree is awarded after at least 3 years of study following the award of a
Masters degree. Ph.D. candidates are required to submit a thesis after a period of research on an approved topic. <strong>SCHOLARSHIP</strong>S The higher education system of Malta is open to international students. Currently there are over 600 full-time foreign students from some 75 countries in attendance. In addition, around 300 foreign students participate in semester exchanges.
