To improve the quality of education, students should be split into smaller groups, according to accounts graduate Diane Vella.

She also suggested that the test and final examination system be reviewed to strike a better balance between students' university and personal lives.

It was inconvenient for students to face excessive delays when lecturers' timetables were issued, she added during yesterday's graduation ceremony.

Ms Vella had positive words for the investment in the University's infrastructure, citing the construction of the Faculty for Information Technology and Communication as an example.

In a second ceremony, Nerisse Pace, who graduated Bachelor of Commerce, spoke of the importance of the University Students' Council (KSU) in students' lives. She said: "It is because of the will of all the students combined that KSU can be represented properly and strongly enough to make its message resonate with those it needs to."

Apart from looking out for student's rights, KSU offered numerous cultural events that served as a break from academia and gave a chance for students from different faculties to meet each other, Ms Pace added.
