PRESS RELEASE 02/2022 

The only fees that remain for Maltese Nationals are the Registration and Admission Fees. This decision comes in line with the University’s commitment and vision toward the Maltese Community, to be a high-quality educational institution, and a viable option for Maltese Nationals to study at the University.

This means that Maltese Nationals will be able to enrol in courses offered by the American University of Malta at a significantly reduced price than any other foreign student. “Over the past few months, we have been engaging with the community as much as possible, both on a regional level and the national level. We have heard several comments, concerns, and feedback about the current University Operations. Although we are a Private Institution, we remain committed towards our service to the community at large.” “At AUM we feel proud and privileged to serve from Malta, the island where beauty, splendour, history and culture combine to generate a wonderful learning environment. “We look forward to welcoming more Maltese nationals and be part of the experience provided by the American University of Malta. We strive to give all of our students a special platform to develop their minds, their hearts and their souls.” AUM President Dr. Michel Najjar said.
