| Welcome to the University of Malta.
The aim of this page is to welcome you to
our University. Our University is
administered by the Students themselves
together with other members. The
University offers the best educational
resources, including a variety of books,
audio-visuals, and computer services.
Every University student automatically
becomes a member of the council of
university students (KSU). Besides,
students are welcome to join any of the
Students’ Organizations. Check out
at the KSU office for more information.
However the KSU will give you all the
basic information as soon as you enter
University and is always pleased to help
all students.
Some very important advice before go
on ... Please be patient with your
requests especially in the Faculty
Offices, and other administrative
offices. Faculty Officers, clerks and
lecturers are very BUSY in the first
months. University Students rush in with
their requests!
In the University there are different
courses. Your COURSE may be one of the
following
B.Ed (Hons.)
B. Com etc.
Make sure that you have a list of
courses provided for academic year
1999/2000
Reading for a particular course
implies that you become a member of a
FACULTY.
Example, if you are reading for a B.Ed
(Hons) then you are in the Faculty of
Education.
Each faculty has its own building on
campus. Most faculties have their own
lecture rooms e.g. Faculty of
Engineering.
Other faculty buildings only consist
of lecturers and administrative offices
inside them, and they do not have their
own lecture rooms e.g. Faculty of
Education.
Many courses follow a rigid time table
at the end of the semester, and all
students will follow those particular
credits (subjects) e.g. B. Com, while
other courses have different areas as in
the case of the B. Ed. (Hons).
The
University Library
In the University of
Malta Library one can find over half a
million books and also receives over 1200
journals, and has available local and
foreign newspapers on a daily basis.
Retrospective conversion has become a
necessary process in modern libraries to
be efficient. After 1992 the University
of Malta Library changed its old ways of
stamping and filing cards and now it has
an automated circulation and catalog
functions. Besides in the Library we also
find photocopy service which is
frequently used by lecturers and
students, CD-ROM reference, online
searching from foreign databases and of
course a web page. Many books are bar
coded and can be easily retrieved from
the OPACS, even by means of the Internet.
