A group of 11 students from Thapar University, Patiala, Punjab, India, are leaving Malta on 4 February, 2018 after completing one semester of their graduate studies at the University of Malta.
During this time they pursued studies in information technology, programming, business management and marketing. Other Indian students who have spent time at UM have secured jobs in Malta with KPMG and Crimson Wing. They were hosted to a farewell lunch by UM Pro Rector (International Development) Prof. Godfrey Baldacchino, along with Mr Pierre Cassar (Director of Communications, Marketing and Alumni Relations) and staff from the UM's International Office. The guests also included Ila Tewari, Research Support Officer II, Faculty of Medicine & Surgery, who is an Indian student at UM, as well as UM academic members of staff Dr Lalit Garg (Faculty of Information & Communication Technology) and Dr Sameer Kumar Jasra (Institute of Aerospace Technologies).
The departing students were very thankful for their positive experience in Malta and were most appreciative of this opportunity to study in such a stimulating learning environment with a friendly and cosmopolitan culture.
