Education, Science and Technology

The ENDEAVOUR II Scholarships Scheme supports good quality tertiary

education at Postgraduate Level both at MQF Level 7 and MQF Level 8 and to

ensure that the Maltese labour market is supplied with the right individuals, in

order to guarantee that it is in a better position to compete at an international

level. The scheme is aimed to support those pursuing this path to succeed both at

the level of education attainment as well as contributing effectively towards the

economy.

Postgraduate education forms an increasingly important part of any country’s

economic and social agenda. It supplies a key element of many people’s

continuing professional development.

The scheme is intended to target young students and adult learners alike, who

are being encouraged to pursue their studies at MQF Level 7 or at MQF Level 8,

being academic hence at Masters/PhD level or other vocational qualification that

leads to MQF Level 7 or 8.

However, applicants who are already in possession of a Level 7 Masters Degree

can also apply. On the other hand, applicants who are already in possession of a

Level 8 Doctoral Degree/Professional Doctorate or comparable qualification to

Level 8 are not eligible to apply under this scheme.

Applicants must not be in possession of a degree at the same level of which they

are applying for under this scheme. Ex. If applicants already hold a Masters

Degree, they cannot apply for a post graduate Certificate or post graduate

Diploma. Thus, applicants must be applying for a higher level qualification than

the one already attained.

This scheme is part financed by the European Union through the ESF + 03.185 and

it has specific areas of studies.

.Also applicants awarded a scholarship shall be available to commence their

programme/course /qualification leading to MQF Level 7 or MQF Level 8

between the 15th of May 2024 and 30th April 2025.
