The Institute of Tourism Studies (ITS) Malta, founded in 1987, is the Republic of Malta's premier state higher education institution dedicated to hospitality, culinary arts, tourism management, diving safety, and event operations. Operating across two modern campuses—the flagship Aviation Park campus in Luqa and a specialized facility in Qala, Gozo—ITS educates future global leaders in the Mediterranean's booming travel and hospitality industries. ITS delivers accredited programs spanning foundation certificates through Bachelor's degrees (in academic affiliation with Finland's esteemed Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences and Dubai's Emirates Academy of Hospitality Management) and Master's qualifications. Boasting world-class practical infrastructure, including commercial training restaurants, sensory wine tasting labs, food science facilities, and the International School of Diving Safety & Management (co-founded with DAN Europe), ITS integrates paid local and international internship programs (LIP & IIP) with top hotel conglomerates (Hilton, Marriott, Corinthia, Westin, InterContinental). Students benefit from Malta's English-speaking business climate, high employability, and the national Get Qualified Scheme providing up to 70% tuition tax credits.
