Through its teaching and research activity, the Department of Maltese of the University of Malta strives towards the advancement of the study of Maltese linguistics and grammar, the history of Maltese language and its literature. Areas of special interest include language contact and language policy. The Department offers courses leading to the award of undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in Maltese.
At present the Department, in collaboration with the National Council for the Maltese Language, is developing a programme which reaches beyond the limits of the campus, in bid to help Maltese society better value the national and European status of Maltese. The programme includes courses in language enhancement and proofreading, in Maltese literature, and the development of courses in Maltese for specific purposes. The Skola tal-Malti (The Maltese Language School) is an offshoot of the Department, which offers courses in Maltese to interested adults, including foreigners living and working in Malta.
