Admissions
Programme Entry Requirements
Prior to entering the Master’s programme of study with the College, applicants should normally possess:
- A good degree from a recognised university institution or equivalent recognised higher education institution. Whilst a degree in a subject broadly related to Business and Management is advantageous, this is not essential. The application process will carefully consider the suitability of the student to successfully complete the programme based on the information provided. Where appropriate, a discussion will be held with the applicant to determine their suitability, or
- A graduate-level professional qualification from a recognised University institution or appropriate comparable recognised higher education institution. A graduate-level professional qualification in a subject broadly related to Business and Management is advantageous. The application process will carefully consider the suitability of the student to successfully complete the programme based on the information provided. Where appropriate, a discussion will be held with the applicant to determine their suitability, or
- Where appropriate, a pre-masters orientation programme was approved by Global College Malta.
Students whose first language is not English and who have not previously been exposed to spoken and written English at a reasonably advanced level will normally be required to demonstrate an English competence of IELTS 6.0 or equivalent. The College may undertake a video interview with the prospective student to better understand their English proficiency and, where appropriate, may also require a Medium of Instruction certificate from the student’s previous educational institution. The English language proficiency requirement may be waived if the student is a native speaker of English and they have completed their secondary education in a country where English is the official language or English was the language of instruction where they graduated.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to have two or more years’ relevant work experience, although this need not necessarily be continuous, and may have been undertaken on a voluntary or unpaid basis.

Module Teaching & Assessment for all modules except Dissertation
The module will normally have the following assessment regime:
- Written examination: this will typically account for some 40% of the final grade and takes the form of a written examination under controlled conditions.
- Individual Essay(s): this will typically account for some 40% of the final grade and takes the form of a specialised essay. Students will be required to explore an emerging trend or topic within the theory and practice of the module discipline. This will require an extensive search of the relevant academic and practitioner-based literature and students will need to make reference to both academic and industrial/practitioner sources in their written work.
- Group work: this will typically account for some 20% of the final grade and takes the form of a report. A selection of the groups will be invited to present or pitch at the end of the module to a panel.
Module Teaching & Assessment for Dissertation
Each student will be allocated a supervisor who will help them with the development of their project proposal, oversee progress with the project, comment as appropriate on draft materials produced by the student and be available to assist the student with the project, as appropriate.
The dissertation/major project is assessed via the production of a dissertation of some 10,000 to 12,000 words in length.
Where necessary, a viva voce will be conducted in those instances where the provisional mark is considered to be a marginal pass.
To successfully complete the module an overall pass mark of 40% must be achieved.
All assessments will be submitted via the internationally recognised plagiarism software Turnitin.
