Apply

Applications for our February and October intakes have been officially open since the third week in November. You can submit your application online. The deadlines for submission of applications vary according to the intake and courses. We encourage all international applicants to submit their applications as soon as possible. This is especially important if you require a visa to travel and eventually stay in Malta.

You can compare your national qualifications to the local requirements by visiting our qualifications comparability webpage. Access more information about our admission process and English language requirements.

The University of Malta has student accommodation on campus called Campus Hub. Campus Hub is just a 2-minute walk from the main campus. For more information, visit the accommodation website.

Our dedicated team at the student recruitment office is here to support you every step of the way. From the moment you start your application to the moment when you receive your decision letter, we're here to assist you. If you have any questions or need further information, don't hesitate to reach out to us. You can contact us at info@um.edu.mt, and our team will be more than happy to help.

After you receive an offer from us, our International Office will assist you with visas, accommodation and other related issues.

Banking & Finance

Banking and Finance will equip you with the skills and knowledge needed to incline your analytical and statistical/mathematical mind orientation for the work-place. The course will provide you with the professional teaching of concepts related to both fields.


Mathematics

Mathematics underlies the pursuit of every scientific endeavour as it equips you with the necessary body of knowledge and competences. Most of the Mathematics study-units in the first two years of the degree are compulsory. In the third year, students are asked to choose a stream from four available options. The four options are Graph Theory and Combinatorics, Functional Analysis and Topology, Applied Mathematics, and Biomathematics.


Banking & Finance

The Course shall consist of two parts, namely, Part One comprising the first three years and Part Two comprising the fourth year.

  1. Part One shall consist of study-units to which 180 credits are assigned and indicated in the programme of study and divided as follows:
  2. First Year: in addition to the compulsory and elective study-units outlined in the programme of studies of the chosen areas (not less than 26 credits in each of the two areas), students are required to register for optional study-units to bring their total for the year to 60 credits,

    Second Year: 30 credits in each of the two areas of study,

    Third Year: 30 credits in each of the two areas of study.

    At the end of Part One, students who obtain 180 credits as specified in paragraph (1) but who either opt not to proceed with the Course leading to the Honours Degree, or having proceeded, do not successfully complete the Course, shall be eligible for the award of the degree of Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.).

  3. Part Two shall consist of study-units to which 60 credits are assigned divided as follows:
    1. 40 credits in one area of study, of which 18 credits are assigned to a dissertation, and
    2. 20 credits in the other area of study,

provided that in the case of Mathematics, the dissertation may be substituted by one or more additional taught study-units.

Banking & Finance

At the end of the course, you will be able to:

Banking and Finance

  • Demonstrate your broad and intricate knowledge of the theoretical and professional disciplines related to both areas.
  • Work in collaboration with others for better and more effective solutions.
  • Integrate your skills and conceptual knowledge in the Financial Services Industry.

    Mathematics

  • Understand and employ the basic rules of logic, including the role of axioms or assumptions.
  • Appreciate the role of mathematical proof in formal deductive reasoning and exercise it effectively in solving problems.
  • Distinguish a coherent argument from a fallacious one, both in mathematical reasoning and in everyday life.

  • Mathematics

    Upon successfully finishing the course, you will be able to:

    • Understand and employ the basic rules of logic, including the role of axioms or assumptions.
    • Recognize real-world problems that are amenable to mathematical analysis, and formulate mathematical models of such problems.
    • Explain fundamental mathematical concepts or analyses of real-world problems to non-mathematicians.

    Non EU Applicants:

    Fee per academic year: Eur 10,800

    You are viewing the fees for non EU nationals. Switch to EU nationals if you are a national of any country from within the EU/EEA.

    Banking & Finance

    As a Banking and Finance graduate, you may pursue a career as an Insurance Sales Agent, financial analyst, bank teller, commercial banker, investment banker, financial planner, insurance agent, public accounting, Hedge Fund manager, Real Estate Agent, Chief financial officer and as a venture capitalist. If you would like to pursue an academic career or further your studies, you may enrol in a postgraduate course offered by the University of Malta.


    Mathematics

    As a mathematician, you may work in the public sector, such as in the Central Bank of Malta, Ministry for Finance, Economic Policy Department, National Statistics Office, Malta Financial Services Authority; and in the private sector such as in insurance companies, banks, financial institutions, gaming companies, and consultancy firms. You may also find employment in the academic, manufacturing, logistics or IT sectors.

    The Department of Mathematics also offers postgraduate degrees, both at masters and doctoral levels (M.Sc. and Ph.D.) in Mathematics. Based on world-wide recognition of University of Malta degrees, our graduates and postgraduates have been accepted to continue their studies in a wide range of overseas institutions in Europe, the United States and elsewhere.
