Gzira, between Sliema and Msida, is a small town known for its seafront facing Manoel Island, its marina and its central location. Within walking distance of Sliema and St Julian's, it offers more affordable accommodation.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in Gzira. Language schools in nearby Sliema and St Julian's are among the options.
Short programs last 1-4 weeks, while long-term programs run from 12 weeks to a year. Most schools use a system of 8-12 levels, and on an intensive course you should allow about 4-8 weeks per level.
Language school fees in Gzira depend on course intensity, the type of school and the length of your booking. The weekly price falls for longer bookings, and extra discounts apply for early bookings and promotions. Applying through NGGlobal lets you compare the schools' current offers in one place.
Language schools do not require a diploma or any prior knowledge of the language. After you complete the enrolment form and pay the deposit, the school sends you a confirmation. For long programs, schools issue the acceptance letters needed for a student visa application.
For short courses, booking 4-6 weeks ahead is enough. Schengen visa appointments can get busy before summer, so students applying from Turkey should plan at least 2 months ahead.
Turkish citizens apply for a Schengen visa for language courses of up to 90 days. Malta is in the Schengen area, and the application requires the school's enrolment letter, proof of payment, proof of accommodation, travel health insurance and proof of funds.
Malta's tourism and hospitality sector offers plenty of work in summer, but because the work permit process takes time, it is important to arrive with enough savings for the first months.
Homestays, school residences and shared flats are common in Gzira; demand rises in summer, so book early.
Living costs in Gzira are lower than in the UK or Ireland, and with free public transport card options and affordable restaurants it is budget-friendly.
Malta Public Transport buses serve Gzira; the island is small, so most places are close, and buses are free with a personalised Tallinja card.
Gzira has a Mediterranean climate, with hot, sunny, dry summers and short, mild winters, and more than 300 days of sunshine a year.
Direct flights from Istanbul to Malta International Airport (MLA) take about 2.5 hours; buses or taxis take about 20 minutes from the airport to Gzira.
Because Malta uses daylight saving time, the difference changes with the season: from late March to late October Gzira is 1 hour behind Turkey, and in winter it is 2 hours behind.
