Applicants are requested to fill in and submit TWO Application forms.
All sections of the application form are to be completed by the applicant. If any section is left incomplete, the
application will not be processed.
Erasmus students should not fill in this form.
Visiting students do not obtain a degree/diploma from the University of Malta. Exchange/Visiting students have
to be registered as regular students at a University abroad. An official academic transcript is issued to
exchange/visiting students once all the results of their study-units are published.
Visiting Students are classified as follows:
Exchange students (non-Erasmus): Applicants in this category are registered students of a University with which the
University of Malta has a formal agreement. Exchange students would need to have prior recommendation by their home
University indicating that the student is allowed to register for study-units at the University of Malta, and that these can be
transferred to their respective course abroad. Exchange students obtain an official transcript of the study-units which they
follow at the University of Malta.
Visiting students: This means that there is no formal agreement between the University of Mata and the student’s home
university or that the student cannot come to the University of Malta on an exchange basis because there is no vacancy
available. The student registers for study-units at the University of Malta on a tuition fee basis, for a period of one
semester or one full academic year. This applicant has to be a registered student of another University. Visiting students
can apply for their transcript at this website: http://www.um.edu.mt/registrar/students.
