About the university

IDEA College is a private further and higher education institution in Malta, licensed by the Malta Further and Higher Education Authority (MFHEA) under licence 2014-FHI-015. It says it teaches more than 700 students.

It offers courses from MQF level 4 to level 8, including diplomas in management, IT, quantity surveying and early childhood education, bachelor's degrees in management, nursing (top-up) and early childhood education, and many one-year MSc programmes such as Artificial Intelligence, Management, Public Health, Healthcare Management and Leadership, FinTech, Construction Management, Project Management and an MBA.

The college says non-EU students must enrol on its full-time programmes because of visa rules. The course pages we checked show only the part-time fee (€10,775 for a 90-ECTS master's), so Indian students should ask IDEA College in writing for the full-time non-EU fee, timetable and campus before applying.
