• Applicants for Master of Science in Veterinary Medicine must submit their application by 10th August 2025 to ensure timely processing.
• Important Note: Applicants sitting for any August/September 2025 MATSEC exams/resits are asked to submit a course application during this call. If they qualify for another programme after results are issued, they may request a change as explained in the Transfer/Change in Course Time Window.

Following the publication of MATSEC results in late September 2025, registered students may gain additional subject pass grades which could make them eligible to transfer to another course.

This window does not apply to those who did not submit a successful application for an MCAST FT Programme of Study during the Main Call.

Any transfer requests submitted after October will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis (including discussions with the Institute Director). Transfers between institutes may not be considered after October.

Note: It may not always be possible to transfer to any course if the course is oversubscribed following the Main Call. In this window, the Master of Science in Veterinary Medicine is not available for transfer.

A list of courses not available after the Main Call will be published here after 10th September 2025.

Transferring to the Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Nursing course is only possible for those who applied for the ‘Advanced Diploma in Health Sciences’ and have since obtained the necessary entry requirements.

This Late Applications window is the final chance to submit an application for an MCAST Full Time programme. Note that FT Programmes available here will not include courses that are oversubscribed. Bachelor of Science (Hons) Nursing and Master of Science in Veterinary Medicine are not available in this Late Call.

This window is available for TCN and EU Nationals residing in Malta who do not have an active Maltese EID (required to create a MCAST CMIS account). The process here will take longer due to the alternative method.

This Late Application window is NOT available for applicants who do not have all the necessary entry requirements (including the MQRIC statement for non-Maltese qualifications) by 7th October. Applications intended for submission under the Maturity Clause will also not be processed.
