The Islands and Small States Institute is offering a diploma course entitled “Diploma in Gozo Studies”. At a recent meeting of the Board of Studies, members agreed that it can be offered online to students of Gozitan heritage living in Australia, Canada, USA and other host countries.
The Islands & Small States Institute promotes research and training on economic, social, cultural, ecological and geographical aspects of islands and small states. It also offers postgraduate courses on islands and small states studies.
Based at the University of Malta, the institute evolved from the Islands and Small States Programme which had been set up in 1989 at the Foundation for International Studies, Valletta. In 1993, the Programme was restructured as an Institute with the principal aim of enabling the organisation to offer academic courses.
The course consists of three modules, namely:
(i) Economics and Environmental Studies
(ii) History and
(ii) Culture.
Each module will consist of 5 study units.
