Malta, a small island nation in the heart of the Mediterranean, has become one of the fastest-growing study destinations for international students over the last 12 months.

This surge in interest is particularly notable from key Edvisor markets such as Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil, where the demand for Maltese study options has significantly increased.

This rise in student proposals—41% more in 2024 than the previous year—reflects Malta’s growing reputation as an ideal location for international students.

Whilst some of this increase is in response to significant legislative changes in other major study destinations, Malta, with its student-friendly environment and diverse educational opportunities, is well-positioned to fill the gap left by these changes.

Recognising the growing appeal of Malta with Latin American recruitment agencies, Visit Malta participated in Edvisor’s EdSummit events across Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil as a Bronze Sponsor. This partnership has further highlighted Malta’s advantages and reinforced its place as a top study destination in the region.

Why International Students Choose Malta

English-Speaking Environment

Malta’s official language is English, making it one of the few countries in Europe where students can fully immerse themselves in an English-speaking environment. This makes Malta a perfect destination for students who want to learn or improve their English skills while experiencing the rich culture of the Mediterranean.
