About Malta

Malta, in the middle of the Mediterranean, is a small island nation and a member of the European Union. English is an official language alongside Maltese and is used in every part of daily life, from street signs to everyday conversation. Short distances between historic Valletta and the seafronts of St Julian's and Sliema make the island easy to explore for a newly arrived student.

Malta is especially popular for language schools and short programmes. Most schools are around St Julian's, Sliema and Valletta, with summer schools, General English and exam preparation leading the way. Its small scale also makes it a comfortable first step for students going abroad for the first time, and for their parents.

  • An EU member state where English is an official language
  • Schools within walking distance around St Julian's, Sliema and Valletta
  • A Mediterranean climate, popular for summer schools and short courses
Why this country

Why Malta?

A Mediterranean island where English is an official language.

  • English is the everyday language

    As English is an official language, you use what you learn in class the same day in shops, on buses and in your social life.

  • Mediterranean living

    Seaside schools, long sunny days, coastal walks and outdoor activities combine language study with a relaxed holiday atmosphere that continues well beyond the classroom.

  • International classrooms

    Sharing a classroom with students from many countries means English becomes your common language, enriching both your language practice and your cultural experience.
