Contemporary Mediterranean Studies and Social Studies University of Malta

Overview

Contemporary Mediterranean Studies

The Contemporary Mediterranean Studies and Social Studies  programme offered by University of Malta allows you to gain a vast understanding of Mediterranean affairs in modern society through a vast array of perspectives, ranging from anthropology, politics and foreign policy, to international relations, migration and multi-country relations. 

During your course of studies, you will be encouraged to participate in the Erasmus+ mobility programme, as they believe that having an international academic learning experience will give you a more rich and multicultural perspective of the subject matter.

Applicants wishing to join the part-time mode must submit their application as full-time, and then include a note in the comments box of the application form, denoting their preference to be considered for the part-time option. Such requests will be considered by the Board of the Faculty.

Social Studies

In the programme of study in Social Studies, we provide you with a transdisciplinary holistic approach towards the field and its means of integration in the modern world we inhabit. 

By taking a local and international perspective, you will learn about the interrelating and causal relationship between geography, history, political and social science and the humanities in our society. You will be integrated in a broad spectrum of fields and will acquire knowledge on areas ranging from bioethics and warfare to anthropology of migration and cultural criticism. 

They also encourage you to participate in the Erasmus+ mobility programme for a more diverse and multicultural learning experience.

Careers

As a Contemporary Mediterranean Studies graduate, you will be able to work in a variety of occupations, both locally and abroad, as an office supervisor, operations manager, chief executive, personal service manager, and research consultant. 

If you are interested in furthering your studies for a more holistic academic experience, or to pursue an academic profession, then you are encouraged to take on a postgraduate course offered at the University.
