Value-added distance learning tuition by EIE

The Institute of Education (EIE) seeks to give the best service to those students following its postgraduate courses with the University of Leicester and European University.

To add value to the tuition offered, it invites various Maltese and international speakers from various industries to enhance the theoretical knowledge acquired and how this could be adopted into the day-to-day operation of an organisation.

With this aim, since the beginning of the academic year last October, the EIE invited four speakers, two of whom are Maltese.

Rosanne Camilleri, management consultant with the Department of Health, Policy and Planning, explained how a strategic plan was formulated on the conversion of the new units which will start operating at Mater Dei Hospital, and how this was being implemented.

The second seminar was conducted by George Micallef, a freelance tourism adviser with Tourism Minister Francis Zammit Dimech. The seminar focused on a discussion on product development issues, accommodation development, coastal development and tourism strategic planning.

Mr Micallef also briefed students on his advisory experiences to foreign governments.

The third guest speaker was Sara Falconi, who holds a Masters degree in Conservation and Management of Cultural Heritage (European Master, Venezia-Siena-Cassino-Caen-Salamanca).

Ms Falconi is a consultant on how cultural events and concepts are implemented creatively. She has created and implemented the sistema museo in Italy and co-ordinated market research carried out at St James Cavalier. She is also collaborating on the activities by Valletta Alive Foundation.

The fourth seminar was addressed by Dr Martin Coffey, Professor with the School of Psychology at the University of Leicester, who met M.Sc. Occupational Psychology students. Dr Coffey congratulated the EIE for its work in Malta with reference to both student enrolments and qualitative work submitted by the students.

The European Institute of Education is licensed by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Employment as a tertiary level institution of the European University External Programmes and University of Leiceseter School of Management.

European University exams take place at the Examinations Department of the Education Ministry. The EIE is in Ta' Xbiex.
