Malta 5.3

  • August 7, 2019

In July 2012, the University of Malta set up the School of Performing Arts with the aim to bring together the disciplines of Dance Studies, Music Studies and Theatre Studies, and to provide a sound base for the development of new programmes of study together with more specialised fields of research.  The School highlights the performance dimension of the respective disciplines, integrating the interplay between the technical and artistic aspects of performance and the ability to reflect critically on performance within an array of theoretical contexts in contemporary and historical practice

The Art and Design Institute within the Malta College of Arts, Science and Technology is heavily investing in new technology for television production training and post-production. It has also received accreditation for degree courses in 3D Design and Graphic Design. In 2010 accreditation also started for an undergraduate degree in Fine Arts. This is the first fine arts degree to be awarded by a Higher Education institute in Malta.
