Financial Services University of Malta

Overview

While it is offered by the Faculty of Laws, The Financial Services programme at the University of Malta benefits from the close collaboration and academic input of the Faculty of Economics, Management and Accountancy and is, as a result, better placed to deliver a mixed skill programme not exclusively restricted to law subjects. 

While the focus is on the provisions, mechanisms and remedies that arise from Maltese law, a broader and comparative approach is included wherever possible. 

Special focus lies on the impact of European Union law particularly through the various directives and regulations that have been adopted during the past twenty years which affect almost every area of financial services, such as the BRRD, CRR, CRD and MIFID.
