Students interested in a career in a marine-related business may find the study of maritime management a wise choice. Typical courses of study aim to improve critical thinking and hone managerial skills while focusing on issues unique to commerce conducted in a maritime setting.

Malta is a small, island country in the Mediterranean Sea that lies south of the island of Sicily, Italy. Malta has promoted itself successfully as an entirely bi-lingual nation for Maltese and English. It counts for many educational institutes in the rest of the world as a country where English is the first language and they therefore will often even subsidize students to go there to learn it. The vast majority of Maltese citizens speak English to a very high standard.
