is second to none …
Malta was a colony of the British Empire for over 150 years, and one of the British legacies that still linger among the Maltese population is English as a natural second language and a solid education system, that has sustained and enabled the Maltese to build a knowledge based economy that has propelled the Islands as the best performing in the European Union.
Whilst there is a wide choice of school systems from kindergarten to post secondary level, Malta relied on one University of Malta to cater for the higher education needs of the population. Whilst this was deemed to be adequate for most of the last century, where Universities catered mostly for the professions, the widening of fields of studies at higher education in Europe, prompted the Government of Malta to legislate towards the establishment of other higher education institutions to buttress the economic needs of the nation, as well as try to accelerate the quantity and quality of graduates as a percentage of the labour force, in order to get away from the bottom positions in the EU scale.

Setting up a University thatreaches towards international standards
Standing tall among world ranking Universities
Setting up a higher education institution from scratch is no mean feat, especially if thevision is to build a quality institution that will be involved in research andteaching.
Saint Martin’s Institute of Higher Education is a licensed higher education institution by the National Commission for Further & Higher Education (NCFHE) and a Recognised Teaching Centre by the University of London.
Saint Martin’s Institute of Higher Education chose to join the world renowned University of London network, specifically to be able to learn what it takes to build a quality institution. The University of London is one of the world’s benchmark Universities, not only because of its teaching a research through its seventeen member colleges, but also because it was the very first University ever to open up its undergraduate and postgraduate programmes to students who were unable to attend classes in London. Individuals who were spread all across the British Empire, were given the chance to study for University of London degrees and sit for exams prepared by the examining boards in London in the Country of residence.
The early years of the University of London
Saint Martin’s Institute of Higher Education is a recognised teaching institution for the University of London in Malta, and has been involved in teaching students to sit for University of London examinations since the year 2000.
The Institute enjoys a reputation of excellence among the Maltese population, including the many expatriate families that find Saint Martin’s Institute of Higher Education an excellent opportunity for their children to read for a world renowned degree awarded by the University of London, whilst their children can continue to live with their families and enjoy the support and safety that the presence of families provide. This also means that such expatriate students will pay a fraction of the tuition fees that they will be charged if they were to attend for the same degree at one of the colleges of the University in London.
Tuition Fees
Saint Martin’s Institute of Higher Education uniquely offers expatriate non-EU citizens the opportunity to pay the same tuition fees as their EU colleagues when their children are under the protection of their family residence permits.
A full degree conferred by the University of London studied at Saint Martin’s Institute of Higher Education over three years is of €23,675 (twenty three thousand six hundred and seventy five Euro) or €7,890 for each year of tuition.
What is of great interest to Students (or their parent/guardian) is that they are also eligible to benefit from a €16,000 Income Tax Rebate on the tuition fees paid at Saint Martin’s Institute of Higher Education, under the GetQualified scheme. A tax rebate of €16,000 means that the effective net cost is of of €7,675.
