Study Transfer in Malta: from Gozo or Valletta to a New Location

Where Can You Study Medicine in Malta?

The degree “Doctor of General Medicine MD” is awarded by Trakia State University; the institution holds the Maltese MFHEA licence. 14,500 EUR per year with single payment, academic year beginning in October. To the location article.
• Barts and The London School of Medicine, Malta Campus (Gozo) — the Maltese branch of Queen Mary University of London, a five-year MBBS programme in English. To the location article.
• University of Malta, Msida — public university with a medical faculty; places are almost entirely reserved for Maltese students.

An overview of the region can be found in the article Studying medicine in Malta, Cyprus and Spain.

Why Do Students Transfer to or from Malta?

The Cost Question

The tuition fees between the Maltese programmes differ by tens of thousands of euros over the entire duration of studies. When a family situation changes, this difference determines whether the degree continues or not.

The Study Structure Does Not Fit

Five-year MBBS or six-year MD, campus in Gozo or Valletta, earlier or later clinical start — these differences only become apparent during studies. An intra-island transfer is therefore often the simplest solution.

One Subject Becomes a Bottleneck

Those who fail an exam often lose an entire academic year. What you have already passed travels with you; an open subject is completed at the new university.

How Do We Find the Right University for You?

You will not find a checklist, a document list or a set of dates on this page, and that is deliberate. What each university wants to see differs from one institution to the next and changes from year to year — and a transfer planned around an outdated detail costs exactly the time you were trying to save.

What we do instead is simple. Tell us where you stand: what you have studied so far, what you have already passed, and which countries you could imagine living in. We look at that individually and then tell you at which university and in which country we can place you — and where we can get you in predictably rather than on a hope.

We always aim for the highest possible entry point, so that you continue rather than start over; in many cases that means one of the later study years. Through our network of official partner universities we have the widest choice of places in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, nursing and veterinary medicine. And you stay enrolled while we do it — you plan the move from a secure position, not from nothing.

Where Can You Transfer To?

MediCampus Europeo, Valletta — Staying on the Island

For those who want to stay in Malta: accommodation and residence permit remain unchanged, and daily life changes little. 14,500 EUR per year with single payment. To the location article.

University of East Sarajevo, Faculty of Medicine Foča (Bosnia and Herzegovina)

One of our core locations, for which we hold representation in German-speaking countries. State faculty with its own university hospital, human and dental medicine in English, listed in ANABIN, EU-compliant accreditation until 2033. 3,500 EUR per academic year, academic year beginning in November, practical year optionally completed entirely at a German teaching hospital. Placements here are typically very high — transfer students generally continue in an advanced year of study. To the Foča study guide.

University of Niš, Faculty of Medicine (Serbia)

Large public university with its own university hospital, human medicine in English, 360 ECTS, MD degree. 1,500 EUR per quarter, i.e. 6,000 EUR per academic year. To the Niš location article.

The complete list of all NC-free options can be found in the Study transfer article on Bulgaria.

How High the Placement Turns Out Depends on the Individual Case

All paths mentioned here are designed to give you the highest possible year placement through us — without or with minimal loss of time. What that means concretely differs from person to person, and we would rather look at your situation than publish a rule that fits nobody. What is realistic in your case is something we tell you in the free consultation.

What the Transfer Means Financially

MediCampus Europeo costs 14,500 EUR per academic year, Foča 3,500 EUR and Niš 6,000 EUR. In addition, there is the difference in living costs: Malta is comparatively expensive in the Mediterranean region; in Foča and Niš they realistically amount to 450 to 500 EUR per month. Our placement fee is success-based: if no study place is secured, no costs arise for you.

Why You Should Seek Advice as Early as Possible

• Places are limited. In higher years, a place only comes up when one becomes free — the earlier we know about you, the more options remain open.
• The academic years start at different times. MediCampus Europeo begins in October, Foča in November, Niš runs on a quarterly rhythm. The more lead time we have, the more calmly the move can be arranged.
• Being enrolled is the better starting position — hence the conversation before the next resit rather than after it.

Looking at your situation takes a few days and costs nothing. Tell us what you have studied so far and where you could imagine going, and we will tell you at which university and in which country we can place you. Book a free study consultation.
