Quick answer: At the Malta colleges we work with, tuition was about €5,000 to €8,000 per year in March 2026, with application fees of about €100 to €250. Most one-year diplomas cost €6,500–€7,500. Your total budget must also cover accommodation, living costs, insurance, travel and the funds you must show — so plan for much more than tuition alone.

What is the total cost to study in Malta from Nepal?
Tuition is only one part. Plan for all of these:
- Application fee — paid to the college when you apply (see table)
- Tuition fee — for the full course, not only the first year
- Accommodation — some colleges provide a hostel letter; at others you arrange a private rental or hostel booking yourself. A lease agreement (with an attestation form) is part of the residence permit paperwork — see Identità
- Living costs — food, transport, phone and daily expenses
- Health insurance — required for your stay
- Flights — Kathmandu to Malta
- Funds you must show — the amount is set by the Maltese authorities and can change; confirm the current requirement on Identità’s official website
- Student visa and residence permit fees — see our Malta student visa guide for the official visa fee; confirm the residence permit application fee in Malta on Identità’s official website
- Document costs in Nepal — translations, attestations and courier
We do not publish living-cost or required-funds figures here because they change and must come from official sources. We calculate them with you, in writing, at your free assessment.
How can you reduce the cost of studying in Malta?
- Choose a one-year diploma first if your goal allows, then decide on further study
- Compare total course cost, not just the first-year fee (some bachelor’s and MBA fees drop after year one)
- Pick a college that provides a hostel letter if arranging accommodation from Nepal is difficult
- Avoid courses below MQF Level 5 — they follow a different permit route
