The
Malta College of Arts, Science and Technology (MCAST) has full autonomy
in developing curricula of study and training based on the concept of
lifelong learning. The curriculum in all its provision is the result of
ongoing consultations between the College authorities and the various
economic sectors. This ensures that the knowledge, skills and
competencies within the curriculum are appropriate and relevant for a
changing economic landscape. Courses include both elective and
compulsory units.
University Tertiary Education
The
University, its Faculties, Centres and Institutes have full academic
autonomy and freedom to develop the nature, content and structure of
their courses and programmes of studies. The University is fully
involved in the Bologna Process and ensures that changes in its
curricula are in line with developments within the Process. Courses and
programmes of study are developed and proposed by faculties, institutes
or centres and approved by the Senate. All study-units within courses
are assigned credits according to the European Credit Transfer and
Accumulation System (ECTS) which is the only credit system in use at
the University since 2003/4. The number of hours of studies for
students is indicated by the number of ECTS credits assigned to the
individual study-units.
Maltese and English are the two official
languages of the University. Teaching is generally delivered in
English, except where Maltese and foreign languages studies are
concerned, in which case the language being studied is used.
The
University also offers a programme of studies at pre-tertiary level
extending over one academic year of full-time study leading to the
University’s Certificate in Foundation Studies. This course offers
international students coming from diverse cultures and backgrounds an
introduction to university life and studies in Malta. The course is
specially designed to enable international high school students who
have completed their secondary or high school education overseas to
qualify for admission to an undergraduate degree course at the
University. Apart from a strong English language component, the
Foundation Studies Course offers a range of study-units relating to
Special Course Requirements of the undergraduate degree course that the
student intends to apply for. The Director of the Course as well as
Student Welfare and Advisory Officers from the International Office
offer constant support to students following the Foundation Studies
Course.
