MCAST International Postgraduate Bursary

Alongside its Bachelor's offer, MCAST — Malta's main applied-sciences institution — runs Master's-level programmes in fields such as engineering, computing, business, and the creative industries, with bursary and fee-reduction support available to international students, including Sri Lankans. These applied Master's degrees keep a strong industry orientation, so a postgraduate bursary here funds practice-focused study rather than a purely academic track. For Sri Lankan graduates wanting an English-medium, EU-recognised Master's at a manageable cost, MCAST offers a small, supportive setting in a sunny, English-speaking island nation, with Malta's post-study pathways available after graduation.
