A tertiary education level institution that organises a number of
courses is the Foundation for International Studies, founded in 1987,
based in Valletta in the original University building which dates from
1592. It is the international relations arm of the University of Malta,
a status instituted formally by Statute in 1994. However, the
Foundation is an autonomous, self-governing organisation housing the
University’s International Office and a number of institutes with an
international dimension. The Rector of the University is also the
Chairman of the Foundation.
The Foundation is partly subsidised
by Government but it generates its own funding mainly through the
organisation of short courses, international conferences and
international research and other projects. It helps develop links with
foreign universities. The Foundation has a well established reputation
in the international education arena and with other cultural
organisations, in particular the European Union, the Council of Europe
and UNESCO.
Within the Foundation for International Studies
there are the International Environment Institute, the
Euro-Mediterranean Centre on Insular Coastal Dynamics and the Institute
for Islands and Small States.
Within the University of Malta
there is also the University of the Third Age which runs courses for
elderly people in a number of areas of interest. These courses do not
entail any assessments but are rather meant to inform, educate,
entertain and keep the elderly actively interested in various aspects
of knowledge and life.
