University of Malta International Undergraduate Scholarship

The University of Malta is the country's oldest and largest higher-education institution, teaching in English at the heart of the Mediterranean. It offers partial tuition scholarships and fee concessions to strong international undergraduates, including Sri Lankans, across a broad range of Bachelor's programmes. For Sri Lankan A/L students, the University of Malta combines an English-medium European degree, lower living costs than most of Western Europe, and EU recognition, with merit-based support that reduces the headline tuition fee. Awards are competitive and decided on academic record, so a strong set of A/L results substantially improves both your admission and scholarship prospects.
