It consists of five islands: Malta, Gozo, Comino, and the islets of Kemmunett (Comminotto) and Filfla. Of these, the largest is Malta, with Kemmunett and Filfla being uninhabited. The country lies about 58 miles to the south of Sicily, 180 miles to the north of Libya, and around 180 miles to the east of Tunisia.

Malta is an excellent location to study abroad and obtain an academic degree. This is due to several contributing factors pertaining to aspects such as quality of provided education, affordability, diversity of subjects and others. To begin with, while Malta may have a relatively limited number of universities, it does compensate by providing a broad range of subjects which can be studied such as Arts, Education, Engineering, Law, Medicine, Media, and Technology as well as Finance & Banking, Administration, Tourism, and others. Furthermore, the country’s universities have proper accreditation and international recognition. As a result, students will be able to obtain an academic degree which provides a chance to find a suitable long-term profession without risk of being considered unsuitable due to an invalid diploma. In addition, the country has a relatively high standard of living, with the costs of living being affordable. Similarly, the tuition fees are less costly compared to countries such as France. The country also provides many programs in English, providing students with an opportunity to practice their foreign-language skills.
