The Kunsill Studenti Universitarji (KSU) was founded in 1901 and serves as the national student union representing all University of Malta and G.F. Abela Junior College students.
Your contribution as a University student is undeniably fundamental for the betterment of the University and society in general. KSU is founded on the ideology that life at the University of Malta is much more than simply academia but is the ideal forum where students can engage in active participation. Students should be given the opportunity to express their ideas and opinions regarding pertinent issues.
Students may participate within various subcommittees and events throughout the year, and have such activism recognised by Degree Plus.
The Science Students’ Society (S-Cubed) is a UM Faculty-based student organisation which represents all students following a course under the Faculty of Science on University, national and international levels. Its main aim is to unite science students through educational and social activities which are organised regularly throughout the year.
S-Cubed also works to encourage the development of an environment more conducive to the advancement of science and to extend its reach outside University to popularise science.
S-Cubed has an executive of science students from different courses within the Faculty who work voluntarily throughout the year to organise activities that will enrich students’ experience on campus. Events are held regularly and range from weekend science seminars and site visits to parties and outdoor activities.
