Hello to everyone,
I’m an applicant from an EU country, currently finishing my Master’s degree in Public Health. I am very interested in applying for the 5-year Medicine programme at the University of Malta and would greatly appreciate insights from current students or recent graduates.
I would be also very happy to send you DM with few short questions, if possible.
To introduce myself and why I ams asking: My academic background is somewhat unconventional. I previously studied medicine for two years at Masaryk University in the Czech Republic. (search for name of this uni on Google/Reddit/here and you will get example of how it (un)works there...) The program was extremely demanding — exams in subjects like Anatomy, Histology, and Biophysics were rigorous, with continuous assessments, lab work, credit tests, practical exams, and oral exams. It was a highly challenging experience, and unfortunately, only 40% of students graduate on time, with just 60% completing the programme overall.
I managed to pass these tough exams, so I’m not afraid of hard work. However, I am hoping for a learning environment that is more structured and perhaps more supportive. I’m very dedicated to the medical field and would love to give it another try at a different university.
(I passed cum laude for bachelor diploma, also now my grades are all "A"s at master level currently)
I have a few questions:
I’ve noticed that the educational approach in Malta may differ from what I experienced in the Czech Republic, and I would really like to understand what to expect.
I’m fluent in English at a C1 level, highly motivated, and fully aware that medical studies are demanding — I just want to find the right environment to thrive.
Thank you in advance for your help!

I have a few questions:
- How is the course at the University of Malta structured?
- Could anyone kindly share sample lecture notes (e.g., from Biochemistry) to have imagination of difficulty level?
- What is the approximate dropout rate voluntarily/involuntarily?
- Dont you please have any sample questions from any Year1-Year2 exams - just to see how it is difficult? To know how the question look like? Is it mulitple-choice? Just 1-4 sample questions would be awesome. You can send me DM. Many many thanks to all!!!
