Higher Education Programmes
Admissions Open for International Students
"We don't just learn for our degree, but for our life"
We have designed innovative training programmes with a high real-world impact to bridge the dramatic gap between the growing demand for professionals specialising in neuroscience applied to business, health and performance and the training available internationally. Companies, sports organisations and institutions are desperately seeking experts who can translate brain science into concrete results, but very few academic programmes offer the practical and interdisciplinary training required. We are not creating a new profession from scratch – we are training professionals for positions that already exist and remain unfilled due to a lack of qualified candidates. Fortune 500 companies have been searching for neuromarketing specialists for months without finding qualified candidates. Elite sports clubs (NBA, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich) have dedicated budgets but vacant positions for sports neuroscientists. Multinationals invest millions in neuromanagement but cannot find consultants with real skills.
The neuroenhancement sector is growing by 30% annually but lacks certified professionals.

Processes for program design and Accreditation
We use precise processes for program design and approval. Students and external stakeholders are involved in program design. We interact with internal stakeholders (teachers, students and employees) and external stakeholder (donors, local authorities, professional bodies and agencies).
The policies provide:
- Targeting stakeholders to help Institution improvement;
- Persuading stakeholders ;
- Providing Incentives for stakeholders;
- Creating a feedback;
- Reporting on progress and thanking stakeholders for their contribution;
- Design more-effective outreach programs in the future.
The programs will be designed in a way that meets the expected learning objectives and outcomes. The formal process for approval of new/renewal course is a follows:
- faculty members shall propose a project of new course to the head of institution/board of directors;
- the head/board will review or approved it, confronting with the stakeholders;
- the College send the application of program accreditation to the Maltese Ministry (MFHEA);
- the new educational academic program can only start after accreditation by the National Commission for Further and Higher Education.
- the new educational short courses or introductory courses that do not grant an academic qualification are approved by resolution of the Governing Board.
The qualification resulting from a programs will be clearly specified and communicated and will refer to the correct level of the National Qualifications Framework for Higher Education and, consequently, to the Qualification Framework of the European Higher Education Area.
Graduate and post graduate programmes
As a Higher Education Institution fully accredited by the Malta Further & Higher Education Authority, we can provide graduate and post graduate programmes and courses. The new educational academic program at approved MQF - EQF Level can only start after accreditation by the National Commission for Further and Higher Education. The Malta Qualifications Database is a unique database that contains information on study programmes offered in Malta. All accredited study programme Bachelor degree, Master degree, Post graduate, Doctoral degree, Award/Single Course, can be found in this database.
