Malta Rolling international admission for 2026 intakes — apply early for the strongest merit consideration

Global College Malta Scholarship

Global College Malta — part of the Global Banking School (GBS) group — is a higher-education provider in Malta delivering UK-validated Bachelor's and Master's degrees (awarded in partnership with UK universities) in business, computing, management, and related fields. It offers merit-based scholarships and fee reductions to international students with a good academic profile, applied to its tuition. For Sri Lankan students, this is a relatively accessible, English-medium route to a UK-validated qualification while living in Malta — an EU member state with a Mediterranean lifestyle and lower living costs than many Western European capitals. Tuition at private providers is moderate, and the merit reduction lowers it further. Note that validation arrangements and the awarding UK university can change, so confirm the exact award value, the current validating partner, programme accreditation, and post-study options with the college before committing.
