Valletta, Malta's capital, is a walled city founded by the Knights in the 16th century and listed in its entirety as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With St John's Co-Cathedral, views over the Grand Harbour and baroque streets, it offers the chance to learn English surrounded by history.

In Valletta you can book short courses of 1-2 weeks. On an intensive program, one English level usually takes 8-12 weeks. Reaching the IELTS score universities ask for usually needs a 6-12 month plan, depending on your starting level.
The biggest factor in the price is the length of your booking: the weekly fee drops noticeably for bookings of 12 weeks or more. Besides tuition, budget for items such as the registration fee, materials and the student visa and health insurance. NGGlobal students can take advantage of the schools' seasonal offers.
At most language schools courses start every Monday. Malta's busiest season is June to September, when classes and accommodation fill up early. For long-term programs, allowing for the visa process, we recommend applying at least 3 months ahead.
For English courses longer than 90 days, you apply for a national (D) student visa. The application requires enrolment on an intensive program at a licensed school, proof of course fee payment, health insurance and proof of funds, and after arriving in Malta you apply to Identità for a residence card.
Working without permission can lead to serious penalties, so always follow the official rules. NGGlobal helps you plan your budget for the course and living costs.
