University of Malta

What you'll study

To write an accurate syllabus I need the exact programme name or subject area. Different master’s degrees at the University of Malta (for example in psychology, speech-language pathology, psychiatry-related clinical programmes, or other health and behavioural sciences) have distinct core modules and practicum elements. Please confirm which of these — or provide the programme title — and I will list the typical taught modules, research/project components and practical placements that are relevant.

Suggested information to provide

• Exact programme title (as listed by the University of Malta).
• Whether the programme is taught, research, or a mixed taught/research route.
• If relevant, whether you mean a clinical/professional pathway (e.g. clinical psychology, speech and language therapy, mental health nursing, psychiatry-related master’s).

Entry requirements

Entry requirements depend on the specific master’s programme. Generally, University of Malta postgraduate programmes require a recognised relevant bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) with a satisfactory classification, and for professional clinical programmes, relevant supervised experience or coursework may also be required. International applicants usually need proof of English language competence if their prior education was not in English.

Career prospects

Career outcomes vary by field. For example, graduates from psychology-related master’s programmes often move into clinical or counselling roles (where professional accreditation routes apply), research positions, or roles in human resources, education, and community services. Speech and language therapy graduates practise clinically in health services and schools. Health- or psychiatry-related master’s feed into clinical services, policy, or further doctoral training. I can provide a targeted list of careers once you confirm the programme.

Why study at University of Malta

The University of Malta is the country’s principal higher education institution with a broad range of research activity and professional training in health and behavioural sciences. Studying there offers access to local clinical placements, multidisciplinary teaching staff, and research opportunities tied to Malta’s healthcare system and regional public health challenges. If you tell me the exact programme, I will tailor this section to highlight the specific departmental strengths, research centres, and professional accreditation relevant to that degree.
