In this programme of study, the 'Classics' is used as an umbrella term that will take you back to Ancient Greece, where you will academically familiarise yourself with the mythology, society, literature and linguistics, history and art of the Greek Islands. During your course of studies you will be able to have a basic understanding of the Greek and Latin languages and read key texts in their respective original languages. You will be able to understand the influence that this ancient world has had on our contemporary one, while also enriching your cultural and historic mindset by participating in interdisciplinary action. You are also encouraged to participate in the Erasmus+ mobility period, for a multicultural and diversified learning experience.

The undergraduate programme of study in Linguistics will give you an academic perspective of Maltese and global linguistics. During the course we will provide you with knowledge on the multifaceted qualities of linguistics, ranging from sociolonguistics, psycholinguistics and Maltese sign language, to applied linguistics, Python programming, Stylistics and the tripartite influence of discourse, ideology and power. We also encourage you to participate in our Erasmus+ mobility programme, as we believe that a multicultural and diversified international experience will deliver a more holistic and beneficial academic journey.
Communication and Academic Skills Programme
The communication and academic skills programme complements students’ main course of study. It introduces them to writing and presenting as situated within academic contexts sensitive to specific disciplines and develops their competences for future careers.
