When deciding to study at School of Business & Management Malta, there are several key factors one should consider before travelling, to ensure a successful and fulfilling experience.

The most important factor to consider is the Academic Programmes offered, and if this fits in one’s personal long time plan. SBM offers a number of British-accredited qualifications, which will enable one to begin their educational pathway of choice. One needs to bear in mind that the programmes offered align with one’s academic interests and degree requirements. A number of Universities in the UK recognises all programmes offered at SBM Malta. Moreover, one needs to be aware, before committing, of the study timetable and assignments or tests deadlines. Consequently, during the enquiry period, it would be wise to prepare questions and make sure that the study and workload is achievable. 

Another key factor to consider is that all programmes at SBM Malta are offered in English and one needs to have a very good command of the language to be able to follow lectures, study and read, present and to write assignments. 

The financial side of things need to be considered as well and one needs to be aware of the cost of studying and living in Malta, even though students can work for 20 hours per week. Still, one needs to consider - The total expenses, including tuition, accommodation, travel, food, insurance, and personal costs. 

Any student travelling to Malta needs to check if he or she needs a visa and make sure that they have all the required documentation. SBM will guide and support you during the visa application process and the Admissions team will set up an online meeting to help you understand the visa application process. SBM will also check that you have submitted all the required documentation requested by Identita.

Accommodation can be a concern for students who might not be familiar to the cost and type of accommodation offered in Malta. Although SBM does not offer accommodation for the time being, we can help by directing student to reliable and serious property owners who can offer them reasonably priced accommodation.

A diligent student would also investigate the availability of academic, mental health, and wellbeing services at SBM and we would be more than willing to inform them that SBM supports all the needs and our Student Councillor will be able to guide and attend to practical requests. 

Finally, one needs to be certain of what the Long-Term Objectives of studying at SBM Malta are and how they fit into your personal career aspirations.  One needs to consider whether the experience will enhance employability, language skills, and global perspective.
