Anton Tabone, then Minister for Gozo, consulted with the Minister of Education at the time, Dr Ugo Mifsud Bonnici and with the former University Rector, Professor Peter Serracino Inglott about the possibility of offering University courses in Gozo. He found the support of both the Minister and the Rector. Soon after, Professor Peter Serracino Inglott asked Lino Briguglio to act as Director of the University Gozo Centre, as this campus was originally known. The latter accepted, and without much delay started the ball rolling. Several attempts were made before that year to open a University branch in Gozo, but it was only in 1992 that this became a reality. In February 1992, the statute of the Centre was approved by the University Council, and the first fully-fledged degree course to be offered in Gozo commenced in February 1993.

The gradual progress registered by the UGC over the past twenty years is reflected in the improved services offered by the library to all its users.

Abstract: The University of Malta Gozo Centre made it possible for the author to read for a university degree while living and working full time in Gozo. She had two very young children when she started in 1998 – little did she know, in those early days, that twelve years down the line she would have a masters degree and doctorate under her belt. It has been an enjoyable and challenging journey characterized by a series of choices and identification of priorities. But what about the children in all of this? How did this ‘deviation’ from the ‘traditional’ mothering role impact on their own education?

The continued collaboration of all these stakeholders throughout the past twenty years, together with the encouraging support and involvement of all those who accepted to offer their services to hold the varied courses and lectures, are a clear sign that the decisions taken back then, and others taken along the way, were and still are beneficial for Gozo. The Ministry for Gozo sustained this initiative, in every possible manner, throughout the past twenty years, during which the UGC was established and continued to thrive.
