About the scholarship

The University of Malta Scholarship is a postgraduate funding opportunity designed to attract high-quality international students from outside the EU/EEA who wish to pursue Master’s by Research or PhD programmes but may be limited by financial constraints. Hosted by the University of Malta, the scholarship supports advanced research training in Europe and is open to applicants from all countries, with no restriction to a specific academic discipline.
