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

St Martin's Institute of Higher Education Merit Scholarship

St Martin's Institute of Higher Education in Malta delivers computing and business degrees as a registered centre and affiliate of the University of London International Programmes — meaning Sri Lankan students can earn a University of London degree, with academic direction from a college of the University (historically the LSE for the economics/management lines), while based in Malta. The Institute offers merit-based tuition reductions to strong international applicants. For Sri Lankan students, this is an English-medium route to a globally recognised University of London award at a lower cost of living than the UK, inside the EU. Affiliation arrangements, the awarding body, and the lead college can change, so confirm the current University of London programme, the academic direction, the exact reduction, accreditation, and deadlines with St Martin's before committing.
