The programme of study in Maltese is an opportune course to provide you with an academic perspective on the national first language and mother-tongue of Malta. During the course you will learn about the linguistic, phonetic, morphologic, syntactic and literary qualities of Maltese, in conjunction with external features such as history, culture and society. Through a chronological lens of how both Maltese language and literature have developed throughout the years, we will instil within you a deep appreciation for the country's history and its contemporary important status as Mediterranean and active country. In your final year you may have the opportunity to carry out a research-based dissertation, as you will be knowledgeable enough to explore a research topic of your choice.


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.
