What is the L-Università ta' Malta website?

Updated

um.edu.mt is the official website of L-Università ta' Malta (the University of Malta), the country's main higher education institution. It is the central online hub for anyone who wants to study, research, work, or find services at the university. If you are a prospective student checking courses and deadlines, a current student looking for portals and support, or a staff member or researcher seeking internal tools and information, this is the site to start from.

Who the site is for

The site serves several distinct audiences, and the navigation reflects that:

  • Prospective students — people exploring undergraduate, postgraduate, doctoral, foundation, and micro-credential options, plus admissions advice and key dates.
  • Current students — access to portals, assessments, campus maps, eSIMS, health and wellness, help hub, IT support, library, mail, and the My UM app.
  • Staff — staff portal, staff directory, AIMS, SIMS, VLE, WISEflow, and internal services.
  • Researchers — research clusters, groups, projects, platforms, funding, ethics, and the Doctoral School.
  • International applicants — dedicated info for international applicants, including an International Student English Test.

Main sections of the site

The site is organised around a few top-level areas, each with its own dropdown:

Section What it covers
Study Undergraduate, postgraduate, doctoral, foundation studies, admissions and advice, dates and deadlines, fees and funding, DegreePlus, micro-credentials, auditing, and studying at your own pace

What you can actually do there

Beyond reading, the site links to practical tools and systems:

  • Course search — filter by mode of study (full-time or part-time), course level, and A-Z listing.
  • Student systems — eSIMS, VLE, WISEflow, My UM app, library, and mail.
  • Staff systems — staff portal, AIMS, SIMS, and lab equipment search.
  • News and events — items such as the opening of the academic year 2026–27, Freshers' week programme, UM Sports Week (26 October – 1 November 2026), and THINK 51, the university's research magazine.
