Accommodation

Gozo is divided into 14 villages. The Medical School is located in Victoria, the capital of Gozo. Some areas are more expensive than others and many of our current students choose to live in Victoria, as they are closer to the Medical School. Researching online or asking current students through Unibuddy for advice on specific areas of Gozo is a good way to decide where you would like to live. It is also sensible to check out local transport links, to make sure that travelling to the Medical School will be convenient and that you can explore the island easily. 

Placement

Clinical Placements are organised within Malta’s major hospitals, including the Gozo General Hospital, as well as Mater Dei Hospital, Mount Carmel Hospital, St Vincent de Paul, and Karin Grech Hospital on Malta.

Here at Queen Mary, Malta we want you to graduate with as much hands-on experience as possible under your white coat. We think placements are the best way to train new doctors, because they allow students to understand what life is like in a working hospital. But for every placement there are two perspectives. As a doctor, what's it like taking students around the wards? And as a student, how scary are placements and how do they help? We asked Dr Robert Sciberras, Lead Clinician at Gozo General Hospital, and student Jonathan Morris to share their stories. Check out One placement, Two perspectives Primary Care placements take place in community clinics in and around Malta. They are led by GP tutors and are aimed at introducing students to patients and patients’ experience of health and ill-health over the course of their lives.
