Meet us in Malta

Unfortunately we do not have any visits to your country planned in the near future. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with your country contact named below with any questions.

I heard about the University from my tutor back at the University of Malta and I chose to study at Essex because of the large and theoretically-diverse linguistics department. I settled in very quickly! I live in the Quays and I like its quiet off-campus location. My favourite parts of the University are the lectures and the socialising aspect. My advice to other Maltese students would be to put the quality of a University’s departments first when deciding where to study.
