Entry requirements
Admission to the Master’s programme in Engineering is based on the Maltese principle that professional and academic qualifications are considered equally valuable. This means that qualifications such as a Master Craftsperson, Specialist Diploma, Advanced Technical Diploma, or comparable professional qualifications at MQF/EQF Level 6 qualify applicants for admission just as much a university bachelor’s degree does.
The admission criteria, as specified by the accreditation, are as follows:
Prospective students must be in possession of:
An MQF/EQF level 6 in the following qualifications obtained from a recognised college/Institute/University:
- Mechanical
- Electrical Engineering
Or
An MQF/EQF level 6 in the following qualifications obtained from a recognized college/Institute/University:
- Industrial Electronics
- Electrical Systems
- Vehicle Engineering
- Manufacturing
- Marine Engineering
- Operations and Maintenance
For those students whom degree was issued from a non-English instruction university, they must produce evidence of English language proficiency at IELTS:6.0 or equivalents with a minimum of 5 in each component, i.e. Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing or English B2 referred to CEFR. The students with a low IELTS score will get additional support that also includes a free course in English and additional resources as well as individual tutoring
For you, this means::
- Studying without an admission quota (Numerus clausus)
- Studying on the basis of a bachelor’s degree, but also with a vocational qualification at Level 6 of the EQF/MQF
- A degree in mechanical engineering, mechatronics, electrical engineering or similar
- Good knowledge in English
