Students' stories
They came to learn English. They left with the world.
I stayed in the school residence next to school. The best moment was at the residence with students from Japan, Azerbaijan, Italy, Poland, Brazil, Hungary... I could speak English after classes with all of them.
Beatriz GanzoSpain · General English, 3 weeks
Before Malta I didn't understand anything in English. I studied twenty weeks and now I can speak with anyone and write letters. I started at Elementary and finished at Intermediate.
Oumar Adoum AbakarFrance · 20 weeks
If I had the chance to choose a language school again, I would choose Gateway again. I came alone, stayed at the residence, and was never alone. The teachers are amazing!

Questions
Before you pack your bags.
Can I work while I study in Malta?
If you are from outside the EU and your course is longer than 90 days, you can apply for an employment licence for up to 20 hours per week. Your employer submits the application to Jobsplus, and the decision is theirs. We send you the checklist and the form.
I'm a beginner. Is that a problem?
Not at all. General English runs at 6 levels, from Beginner to Advanced. You take a free placement test and move up as soon as your progress tests show you are ready.
When can I start?
Every week, all year round, including Christmas week. Arrive Monday to Thursday and start the same or the next day. Lessons are held in the morning (9:00 to 12:15) or afternoon, at the same price.
Do I need a visa?
EU citizens don't. Students from other countries usually need a visa for long stays; our team tells you exactly which documents you need for your nationality and sends the school letters.
What is not included in the price?
A one-time registration fee (€50) and course book (€35). Optional: airport transfer (€50 return), medical and travel insurance (€12/week). Residence air-conditioning is coin-operated.
Can I start online before I travel?
Yes. Live online group classes cost €25 per week for 10 lessons, with timetables for every timezone. Minimum 4 weeks.
