Overview

Since the demand for ICT graduates has been steadily increasing, this MQF Level 4 programme improves accessibility to the degree programmes for students who do not immediately qualify for entry at MQF Level 6. The programme is designed to offer you a good balance between mathematical, programming and science content, together with English language proficiency. As a graduate, the certificate will enable you to access a B.Sc. (Hons.) and B.Sc. IT (Hons.) programme offered at the Faculty of ICT, University of Malta.

Careers

As a holder of the certificate in ICT Foundation Studies from University of Malta, you will be able to enrol into the B.Sc. (Hons)/B.Sc. IT (Hons) Degree. The certificate is a pathway which will lead you to employment in the ICT services industry, both locally and abroad. Further information about possible roles that you may assume can be found in the career opportunities sections of the B.Sc. (Hons)/B.Sc. IT (Hons.) degrees.
