About the university
Domain Academy is a private education provider in Malta offering business, finance, compliance, computing, hospitality and health-care programmes. It works with partner awarding bodies, naming the University of Derby, Pearson and Qualifi; alumni mention completing an MBA with Domain Academy and the University of Derby.
Its catalogue includes several MBAs (including an MBA Global, an MBA with AI and Blockchain and an MBA with Sustainable Management), a Master of Psychology in Health Psychology, a postgraduate diploma in business administration, BSc (Hons) degrees in Business and Management and in Computing and Information Technologies (including top-up versions), a BA in Business Management, a BSc (Hons) Nursing Studies top-up, Higher National Diplomas in business and computing, and many undergraduate certificates and diplomas, including anti-money-laundering programmes linked to Malta's financial-services sector.
For Indian students, Domain Academy may suit someone looking for a UK-awarded business or computing degree, or a top-up year after a diploma, taught in Malta. Because many of its programmes are diplomas and top-ups, check which award you will receive, who awards it, how it is recognised in India, and whether the course qualifies for a Maltese study visa (full time, MQF level 5 or above, at an MFHEA-licensed provider).
