St Martin’s Institute of Higher Education, established in 1985, is a licensed higher education institution by the National Commission for Further & Higher Education and a recognised teaching centre of the University of London. It started offering degree programmes to Maltese and international students in Malta in 2000 and has now topped its first 1,000 graduates.

St Martin’s Institute principal Charles Theuma said: “The relationship built over the years has meant the development of a very strong team of academics and rigorous quality assurance processes.

“These have been proven with a track record of an exceptional high number of students, examined by the university’s examining boards, and conferred with first class honours classification by the University of London. These exceptional results had started very early in the relationship and have continued uninterrupted throughout the years, showing the determination of the institute’s staff to reach international standards in academic teaching.”
