O level and A level students can now breathe a sigh of relief because the hard work is over and summer can begin. Results may seem far away, but once they’re released, students face a whole new hurdle: what is the next step to take? For those who wish to pursue higher education, there isn’t only one path to choose.

St Martin’s Institute of Higher Education offers students a unique path. The institute is an affiliate centre of the University of London International Programmes, which allows students to read for a prestigious University of London degree or diploma, right here in Malta.

The institute specialises in computing, business and finance, with a dedicated team of academics, and in close collaboration with leading UK colleges, such as the London School of Economics, Royal Holloway College and Goldsmiths College.

The institute offers a range of distinctive programmes, such as creative computing and international business, and information systems, allowing students to stand out from the crowd and secure unique and varied job opportunities. Other, more mainstream, programmes in accounting, banking, business and management also form part of the portfolio of courses offered.

Graduates of St Martin’s Institute are consistently coming out on top.

In the last year alone, out of 175 dissertations that were submitted globally, the institute’s students attained the top three places worldwide with a further seven Maltese students ranking among the top 15 overall.

Courses are offered on a full-time and part-time basis, allowing flexibility to students to choose whichever mode of study best fits their lifestyle.

Reading for a degree is a big decision in your life and it is important to know all of your options before making such a commitment.
