Maltese institutions offer a straightforward but rigorous admission process, focusing on your academic background and English capability.

  • Academic Qualification: A minimum GPA of 2.4–2.8 is typically required for Undergraduate entry. Master’s applicants need a Bachelor’s degree in a related field.

  • English Proficiency: While many colleges accept a "Medium of Instruction" (MOI) letter, a score of IELTS 5.5–6.0 or PTE 50+ is highly recommended to strengthen your 2026 visa application.

  • Letter of Intent (SOP): You must provide a clear Statement of Purpose explaining why you chose Malta over other English-speaking countries and how the course aligns with your future in Nepal.

  • Age & Gap: Malta is generally friendly toward study gaps, provided you have relevant work experience to show for that time.
