The University of Malta and the University of Canberra have just concluded a Student Exchange Agreement which will open up a new opportunity for UM and UC students to opt for an exchange experience of one semester as from January 2024. The agreement covers the exchange of two students each year.
The collaboration was initiated by the High Commission of Malta in Canberra.
The High Commissioner of Malta to Australia HE Mario Farrugia Borg expressed his delight at this exciting new development with the University of Malta facilitating international student exchanges with the University of Canberra in Australia, and vice-versa. He added that this agreement provides a great new opportunity for Maltese students to broaden their academic horizons. Furthermore, it not only offers a wider array of choices but also encourages new academic pathways, providing valuable support to students in Malta and in Australia to seek higher educational opportunities.
The High Commissioner of Australia to Malta HE Mr Matt Skelly, as an alumnus of UC, is also extremely pleased to see UM finalise an agreement with an additional Australian University. While increasing options for academic studies for both Maltese and Australian students, exchanges between universities also allow for students to experience and appreciate the life and culture of another country, develop new perspectives and build lasting connections. He is looking forward to Maltese students experiencing a city with world-class institutions and cultural attractions surrounded by the beauty of the Australian bush.
Applications for UM students to participate in the International Exchange programme, which includes exchange opportunities in Australia, are open until Thursday 30 November 2023.
