The DegreePlus team welcomes you to University and invites you to enrol in some of the units on offer in
2014/15. DegreePlus is an initiative of the University of Malta which aims to help you add value to your
experiences in higher education while studying for your degree. Your University years are a time for personal
growth and development, and DegreePlus is tailor-made to provide you with a diverse and exciting range
of opportunities to help you broaden your academic and non-academic horizons. The areas covered by
DegreePlus include Voluntary Work, Entrepreneurship, Sport, Culture and Heritage, Languages, Music,
Creative and Performing Arts and many more. There really is something for everyone! All DegreePlus units
have been designed in awareness of student needs and aspirations, and the DegreePlus team is confident

The University of Malta
Wind Ensemble
The University Wind Ensemble, led by Dr Philip Ciantar,
is performing in the opening ceremony. It is one of the
initiatives of DegreePlus and was set up with the objective
of providing a high quality performing experience to wind
players. It aims at producing exciting and dynamic concert
programmes and events for a wide range of audiences. The
Ensemble meets every week for rehearsals and instrumental
coaching sessions. Through the Ensemble, students from all
University faculties and institutes are given the opportunity to meet
in an informal manner and experience an array of musical genres and
styles, ranging from arrangements of well-known orchestral pieces to jazz and contemporary music.
In addition, students are encouraged to play solo pieces with the Ensemble and to produce their own
musical compositions and arrangements.
So try something different this year. Be creative: don’t hesitate, and enrol with the University
Ensemble, or any other DegreePlus unit!
If you are interested in engaging in one of these initiatives, just send us an email on
degreeplus@um.edu.mt and we shall be happy to help.
