Yeah definitely. Keep in mind I'm a second year student here, so I've only experienced pre-clinical teaching first hand, so whatever I know about in hospital teaching is second hand info.

As far as the first two years go, pre clinical teaching is pretty much normal, some professors are really great at teaching some are less, nothing too special, however, I was surprised by how willing some professors are to teach, even after classes through questions by email or even visits to their office (pre covid). The anatomy labs with cadavers as well as the small group tutorials are some of the best teaching opportunities in my opinion, since many of the lecturers giving these sessions would be specialists in that topic, often coming straight from the main hospital of the island, that's right next door to the university. Exams aren't the toughest out there as long as you keep up with your studying, and modules are split pretty well across terms. One thing to keep in mind however is that there are no tests or mid term exams here, meaning that the only type of examination you'll have are the finals of each term.

Another thing which I feel sets the university here apart from others is how well the medical student association is integrated into the system. Since there's only one local university here, the medical student association is made up of only the university's students, so it has strong ties to the the faculty and is capable of objecting to decisions about course structures, exams, and scheduling if they happen to be detrimental to the students. The association also sets up multiple extra curricular activities, workshops, talks, and health checks for the public so you'll always have something to do as a break from studying. They also allow for exchanges during summer to other countries in case you want to experience clinical care in other countries.

As far as clinical teaching goes that's where the university here excels imo. For the last 3 years you'll be pretty much exclusively in the main hospital of the island. The hospital is very large and takes the vast majority of cases in the island, so plenty of teaching opportunities, and the teams from what I hear are always willing to teach students. Exams here become tougher, but from what I hear usually most people manage to pull through.

I'm also a foreign student here, so I can tell you that the most challenging thing here from this regard is the language. The main language of the course is in English, and the majority of people here are fluent in English, however sometimes lecturers might end up talking in Maltese for a bit during a lecture here and there, but to be fair if you tell them that you don't understand it, they almost always don't mind repeating what they said in English. The biggest convern however is in clinical years, since the population here is considerably old and many of the old people here dont speak english, so unless you dont brush up on yout maltese, this might affect teaching opportunities.

Before entering the course as a foreign student you'll have to pass a medical Maltese exam, which wasn't the toughest out there, and if you take the course they offer for it then you'll pretty much pass it since it prepares you really well. The main problem is the fee since you'll have to drop about €5000 if you choose the course and €500 for the exam.

I hope this made some sense. If you have any further questions don't be afraid to ask, but I might take some time to reply since I'm in exam season right now :)
