The beautiful island of Malta, located in the centre of the Mediterranean Sea, is an ideal place for studying English if you like sunshine, swimming and meeting new people.
Malta has something for everyone: Mediterranean climate, crystal clear sea, wonderful cafes and shops, exciting nightlife with parties and discos organised especially for international students.
Malta has a fascinating and rich history. The island became a British colony in 1814 and gained its independence in 1964. Mediterranean culture is dominant in Malta but 150 years of British rule have had a lasting effect on the country and its language. English is one of Malta’s two official languages, the Maltese drive on the left and enjoy a typical English breakfast. The main daily newspapers are published in English.
Courses are available to book all year round but during the summer months, thousands of students from all over the world travel to Malta to study English and enjoy the great holiday atmosphere.

Activities and Free Time
In Malta, you’ll explore 7000 years of history yet live passionately in the present. You’ll span the millennia with an astonishing array of things to discover. And wherever you go, the Islands’ scenery and architecture provide a spectacular backdrop.
The colours are striking. Honey-coloured stone against the deepest of Mediterranean blues. The Maltese Islands have been described as one big open-air museum. What makes them unique is that so much of their past is visible today. Delve into the Islands’ mysterious prehistory, retrace the footsteps of St Paul or see where the Knights of St John defended Christendom.
Festivities
But Malta is no regular museum. Here life is lived to the full, so make time for some living history and action. Visit locations where Oscar-winning blockbusters were filmed or go off the beaten track into ancient villages. Marvel at the fireworks and revelry of the summertime festas and enjoy a packed calendar of events all year round.
