At Saint Martin’s Institute of Higher Education we build you … not crush you!

I remember during my Dean’s welcoming speech, he asked each to look at the neighbouring student. We all thought it was an ice breaker, and started chatting each other up. The Dean continued saying; ‘look well at your neighbour, because either YOU or your neighbour, won’t last this first academic year!’ The hall fell into a sickly silence, broken after a few seconds by the girl next to me bursting out in tears. Whilst consoling her, asking what was the matter, she managed between sobs; ‘Cos you don’t seem to be one who will fail!’

This is my own experience, one that I vouch to, and the good ending is that both my neighbour and myself graduated from the degree, and with a good classification too! But many didn’t … too many of my cohort — good students — fell by the way-side, destroyed by a system that puts everyone into a fit all straight jacket! Either you fit, or you’re dead on the rubbish heap! What a pity, what a waste!

It didn’t take me long to realise that the system isn’t correct and can be changed. Saint Martin’s Institute of Higher Education, an Affiliate of the University of London, values students and ascertains that no student is ever just a number!

We find YOUR strengths and MAGNIFY them until YOU yourself will be stunned with your own capabilities

One of our objectives is to;

‘Achieve outstanding student-centered teaching that results from the faculty working together and being committed to the development of each student as an individual’.

Our students are one of the stakeholders of the Institute, and we are driven by the needs of our students. We understand our students’ needs and deliver innovative services to meet these needs.

You don’t need a magnifying glass to know YOU are #NotJustANumber @ Saint Martin’s Institute

We do not simply coin slogans and tag lines. We live them!

Half of our Computing Graduates for 2018 were awarded a First Class Honours degree by the world renowned University of London. The CEO of the University of London, Mr Craig O’Callaghan

Minister of Education and Employment, Evarist Bartolo commenting on the dedication of the Institute’s staff towards their students’ achievements.

‘What I really like about Saint Martin’s Institute is how you keep on pushing students to achieve more, stretching them to their limits’, observed the Minister of Education & Employment, Evarist Bartolo.

Saint Martin’s Institute of Higher Education is the underdog in the Maltese higher education sector, since as a private institution, it must rely on tuition fees to offer its educational services, and meet its obligations. On the other hand, students have the choice of attending any State Institution free from any obligations!

Why would students choose Saint Martin’s Institute of Higher Education, when they may read for a University degree free of charge? Is it because they aren’t qualified to be accepted at other Universities in Malta or their home Country? NO, 86% of Saint Martin’s Institute students have their Matriculation Certificate! Is it because they are snobbish? If anything can be said about the Institute is that it caters for the upper echalons of society! Then what makes students choose SMI? — A Guarantee of QUALITY education, a degree conferred by a University that is in the top 100 globally, and attention to their needs by the academic staff…

Think … what do YOU deserve?

I hope that YOU believe that YOU deserve the very best?

Sitting for examinations is always hard, but resitting examinations is much, much harder, because you have to study everything afresh, and you would not have an idea what you did wrong the first time and may not be able to correct your errors the second time round!

Well, instead of fretting about your next step, you should truly consider what Saint Martin’s Institute of Higher Education can offer you — because we will take you FORWARD and not ask you to rewind or pause!
