Hi detola,

welcome to the forum.

As a non-EU citizen you are not allowed to work at all during your first year of study.

From the second year on you can work part-time for up to 10 hours a week but only with a work permit.

You will have to show sufficient funds to live in Malta for 1 year without working and also show payment of the educational fees and health insurance.

Cheers
Ricky

Hi detola,

the Malta university is not in Valletta. Here is some information about the university and applications for international students:

According to the ETC regulations TCN's studying in Malta are not allowed to work in their first year.

' Only TCN students holding a residence permit issued under Legal Notice 29 of 2008 are entitled to take up employment, for a maximum period of ten hours each week as long as they are in possession of an Employment Licence. Students are not granted licences to take up self-employment.

TCN students in Malta to study English do not fall under the above legal notice and therefore the Corporation will not accept applications for issue of an Employment Licence.

Applications for employment licences for students are received from the employer seeking to recruit the student.

Applications are not accepted in respect of students who are still in their first year of residence in Malta or who do not have a copy of a student聮s residence permit issued by the Department of Citizenship and Expatriate Affairs'

This info is taking from the Guidelines of the Employment & Training Corporation (ETC) that issues work permits.

The University gives a figure of 'tuition fees' plus 17.250 聙 (48 聙/day) for the first year at the university.

The applications deadline for the academic year 2013/14 is nearly reached and courses start in September 2013.

You had already asked the same question.

Cheers
Ricky

Hi detola,

1200 $ for the first year ? The university asks for 17.000 聙 plus tuition fees plus a return plane ticket !

You will find it very,very difficult to find a part-time job even after the first year that will allow you to finance your university course.

Are you really looking to study in Malta or just looking for a way to enter Malta to work as you seem to focus on the job and not the study course. You are too late to apply this year so you have time until next summer to save some money.

Cheers
Ricky

$1200 will not last you a year for sure - more like not even a month.. as for minimum wages its around 4 euros per hr, you will need to be working at least 40 - 60 hours per week (thats full time not part-time) to survive on basics.

Hi detola,

you can check out the tuition fees for any given course on the University of Malta website yourself.

The 17.250 聙 the University quotes as costs are the same amount that you are required to show proof of (48 聙/day) when you apply for your visa for the first year. The amount has to be shown in hard,convertible currency (ie US dollar,Euro ,GBP or similiar).

You will also have to produce a valid return plane ticket and proof of health insurance coverage.

You will have to do your homework before applying. If you present yourself at the Embassy applying for a study visa the way you are doing it here on the forum you won't have any chance! They will interview you ! If you mention or even think about the word job or work you will fall through.

So,once again,the answer to your original question of 'maybe I can get a job' is a clear .......NO !
Cheers

totally agree - methinks this is more about bypassing the system than getting an education. two words sum this up - NO CHANCE.
