Why study in Malta from Nepal?
Malta offers something rare: an English-speaking, EU-accredited education at a fraction of the cost of the UK or mainland Europe, with the whole Schengen Area on your doorstep. English is an official language, so you don't need a second European language, and its flexible, multiple-intake system makes timing easy. For budget-conscious Nepali students who still want a genuine European degree, Malta is one of the smartest value choices available.
Intakes and application
Malta's main intake is September/October, with strong February intakes and rolling admissions at many colleges. Because there is no Maltese embassy in Nepal, student visa applications are handled through VFS/the Maltese mission covering Nepal — we manage this process for you. Start at least six months ahead, as visa processing takes 8–12 weeks.
Costs and work
Tuition varies widely by institution: the University of Malta is very affordable for non-EU students, while private colleges typically charge €7,000–€15,000 per year. Budget €600–€1,000 a month for living costs. Students may work part-time during their studies.
