University of Malta

The University of Malta is the country’s national, comprehensive public research university, enrolling about 11,500 students, with English as the language of instruction and a main campus in Msida. Its integration with Malta’s primary teaching hospital next door enables clinical access and translational partnerships. For commercialization, a Corporate Research & Knowledge Transfer directorate supports IP, licensing, and collaboration; the university also hosts Malta’s first PATLIB patent information centre and the TAKEOFF business incubator. Research teams routinely participate in EU framework programmes, with Horizon Europe/Horizon 2020 project support provided through dedicated finance and project offices. A philanthropic Research, Innovation & Development Trust complements competitive EU and national funding for strategic initiatives.
