Over the past weeks, the Malta College of Arts, Science, and Technology (MCAST) and its commercial arm, MCAST Gateway to the Industry (MG2I), have forged significant and mutually beneficial agreements with five prestigious Chinese universities, marking a significant milestone in the College’s global outreach.

These higher education institutions include the Jiangsu Vocational College of Medicine, Guandong Business and Technology University, Guangxi University of Science and Technology, Beijing Institute of Technology, and Beijing Polytechnic.

Education Minister Clifton Grima also visited China to strengthen ties in the education sector. The Malta delegation included MCAST Deputy Principal for Business Development and Communications Stephen Vella and Education Malta, Charles Zammit. They were accompanied by Malta’s ambassador to China, H.E. John Busuttil, during meetings held in Beijing, and Consul Lisa-Marie Azzopardi during meetings held in Shanghai.

Deputy Principal Stephen Vella said, “These partnerships will not only enhance MCAST’s global presence but also provide valuable opportunities for academic and cultural exchange between MCAST and the Chinese universities.”
