| Abstract: | Twenty-one years ago the Hon. Anton Tabone, then Minister for Gozo, consulted with the Minister of Education at the time, Dr Ugo Mifsud Bonnici and with the former University Rector, Professor Peter Serracino Inglott about the possibility of offering University courses in Gozo. He found the support of both the Minister and the Rector. Soon after, Professor Peter Serracino Inglott asked Lino Briguglio to act as Director of the University Gozo Centre, as this campus was originally known. The latter accepted, and without much delay started the ball rolling. Several attempts were made before that year to open a University branch in Gozo, but it was only in 1992 that this became a reality. In February 1992, the statute of the Centre was approved by the University Council, and the first fully-fledged degree course to be offered in Gozo commenced in February 1993. |
