Increasing number of foreign students choosing to further their studies at MCAST

The Malta College of Arts, Science and Technology organised an interactive working lunch with 16 students from India who are currently in Malta following the Undergraduate Certificate in Health Care (Psychology) at MCAST.

The event, organised by the MCAST Gateway to Industry, the commercial arm of the college, provided a platform for the students to discuss the course they are undertaking, and more broadly, their experience in Malta.

The number of foreign students studying at MCAST is continuously increasing as the college intensifies its internationalisation efforts.

Following the lunch, MG2I general manager Stephen Vella commented: “It is our belief that the presence of international students will enrich life on campus. Diversity is the key to greater understanding of different cultures. This multicultural vibe is already being felt on campus, and will continue to flourish during the coming months with the arrival of more international students who choose MCAST as their study destination to further their studies.”

The group of students also met with MCAST principal Dr James Calleja who welcomed the students to the college and wished them well in their studies. Dr Calleja said MCAST will provide them with specialised training and robust qualifications thanks to MCAST’s excellent infrastructure and teaching staff. This experience will equip the students with the necessary skills and expertise in order to take care of others in their highly important profession.
