More than degrees: Building career-ready professionals
What sets GBS Malta apart is not just what happens in the classroom; it is the institution's focus on preparing graduates for real-world impact. The curriculum has been deliberately designed to meet industry needs. It places a strong emphasis on high-technology and high-growth sectors that shape Malta's knowledge economy
"The island’s knowledge economy is thriving and we at GBS Malta will continue to play our role in strengthening it. We have designed our curriculum to meet industry’s needs, particularly in high-tech and high-growth sectors," Lofaro shared during the ceremony.
This practical approach resonates well with students who are not solely interested in theory. They want skills they can apply immediately, credentials that employers recognise and networks that open doors. The MBA in Project Management, accredited by the Association for Project Management (APM), exemplifies this philosophy perfectly, bridging academic rigour with professional application.
Malta: An education hub on the rise
The ceremony itself told a story beyond GBS Malta's walls. It was a day of learning and networking where international guests mingled with local families, academic leaders shared insights with industry partners and each conversation seemed to circle back to the same theme: Malta is emerging as a compelling destination for both ambitious students and respected institutions alike.
"Malta is increasingly able to attract and retain talented young people – they see a positive and long-term future in the country," Lofaro observed. "This is helping to make Malta a hub for education, attracting ambitious students and institutions from around the world."
For students considering where to invest in their future, Malta presents a compelling case. The island offers a unique combination of high quality of life, strategic location, economic growth, and, increasingly, educational opportunities of the highest level.
Global connections, local impact
As part of the Global Education (GEDU) Network, which supports over 80,000 learners worldwide, GBS Malta brings international standards and global connections to the Maltese education landscape. The strength of this partnership lies in its localisation, not as a foreign institution operating in Malta, but as an integral part of the island's educational infrastructure.
The institution's commitment to Malta is evident in its approach: new initiatives are being developed, collaborations are being formed and advanced learning spaces are being created – all with one clear goal in mind. GBS Malta wants to make quality higher education accessible and practical for Malta's evolving workforce.
"Today's graduating cohort is the first of many and I cannot wait to see what the future will bring," Lofaro said, his words containing both a promise and an invitation.
The beginning of something bigger
As the ceremony drew to a close and the last photographs were taken, one truth became undeniable: this was not an ending. The first graduation at GBS Malta represents the beginning of a lasting contribution to Malta's educational sector. These graduates are pioneers. Their success validates not just their own hard work, but the vision that brought GBS Malta to life.
The day was a realisation of a shared vision, one that began with ambition, perseverance and the belief that quality education can shape futures.
