MKSA is a faculty-based student organisation at the University of Malta, for students within the Faculty of Media and Knowledge Sciences, aimed at enhancing student networking. It also strives to introduce students to different facets of media and communications.

MKSA encourages its members to participate in all its activities and offers help while they are studying at UM and beyond. MKSA organises various academic and socio-cultural events both on-campus and off-campus. This student society is made up of current UM students, all of whom are actively involved in ensuring the wellbeing of fellow students during their journey through academic life.

MKSA provides a platform through which students can voice their concerns, express their opinions and showcase their talents for the benefit of other students, academics and professionals, both locally and internationally. MKSA is a reference point for students – past, present and future – to develop their career in the communications field and related areas. It maintains contact with its members to ensure that they keep abreast with the changing environment they study or work in.

MKSA is a not-for-profit association and is autonomous and independent, free from religious, political, commercial or other group attachments. It was established a few years ago, when the Faculty was still operating as a Centre; its name at the time was COMMA (Communications Association). When the Centre evolved into a Faculty, this student society was revamped and rebranded – MKSA – to better represent the full student body.
