The Master course in Maltese Studies was successfully started in 2008/9 as a new degree and has from its inception aimed to inculcate a better understanding and an appreciation of Maltese nationality, culture and identity in time and space. It has attracted students with interests in Maltese history and lifestyle, structures and habitat and has been looking into themes such as ethnicity, politics, governance, language, literature, society, agriculture, environment, religion, archaeology, architecture, law, medicine, music, art and heritage.
This Master is both a research training degree and a free-standing course drawing on expertise from a wide range of disciplines in different faculties. Thus, potential candidates are exceptionally well-supported and have access to a wide and unique range of knowledge.
The degree provides a cross-disciplinary perspective on various aspects of Maltese affairs, develops research and other skills, and allows for specialist study in one particular area through a thesis in the third year, the first four semesters being taught courses. Due to the wide range of topics under study the Master in Maltese Studies is an ideal preparation for a variety of jobs and positions, especially at middle management levels, and can also serve as a vital tool for emigrants of Maltese descent, as well as being a valuable preliminary degree for those wishing to further their studies in this area by reading for a doctorate.
Any potential candidate who holds a first degree, and others deemed to have equivalent qualifications by dint of distinguished professional life experiences or researched publications, can register for the Master courses or even, by prior arrangement, for some of its units, especially in the case of overseas students. Courses are held in English.
