Advancing Knowledge that Inspires
Empowering Students for Lifelong Learning
Driving Change that Transforms Society
At the University of Malta (UM), our vision is to advance knowledge that inspires curiosity, discovery, creativity and innovation, while empowering students to grow and develop as leaders, problem-solvers, and lifelong learners. Through excellence in teaching, research and engagement, we seek to nurture learning and learning processes that last and transcend the immediate learning spaces and to create transformative impact that strengthens communities and shapes a better society for future generations.
We are committed to advancing knowledge through cutting-edge research and innovative teaching, equipping students with the knowledge, skills, and a mindset to lead, innovate, and learn throughout their lives and in spaces away from traditional learning spaces. Knowledge should arouse curiosity, creativity and discovery, guiding our students and scholars toward new horizons of understanding.
Our commitment to learning extends beyond the traditional: through life-wide and work-based learning opportunities, occurring simultaneously across various social, digital, and physical landscapes, our students will develop lifelong skills that support personal and professional growth. By translating knowledge into real-world solutions, we generate impact that transforms individuals, strengthens communities and contributes to a more sustainable, equitable and thriving society. By placing students, scholars and the entire University community at the heart of our mission, we nurture their growth as individuals. Through collaboration, inclusivity, and engagement within and across the University, with external stakeholders, nationally and internationally, we seek to shape our society by driving progress, fostering innovation and addressing the most pressing challenges of our time. Ultimately, we strive to forge a resilient university: one which can efficiently and promptly adapt, endure, and thrive amid disruption, rapid change, and global challenges.
