Over 4000 students to graduate from University of Malta in three weeks

Over 4000 students to graduate from University of Malta in three weeks
Oct 17 2021 Share

In just one month’s time from now, around 4,000 students who successfully completed a Bachelor’s or Diploma course in the last two years will be getting the chance to celebrate their graduation. The events which commemorate years of hard work and study will be returning on the 15th of November, all with special arrangements for the student’s guests. These students were unable to celebrate properly due to the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic but as the epidemiological context changes, the students are being given the deserved opportunity. 

The University of Malta will be bringing together students who finished either undergraduate, Masters or doctoral level courses. Over 26,000 students have completed undergraduate level in the past two years, and they will graduate in 26 ceremonies between mid-November and early December. Those who finished their Masters or Doctoral level courses will graduate in March and April. 

Each graduate will be given three invitations for guests, who must all be vaccinated to attend the ceremony. These guests, explained rector Alfred Vella, will be inside two tents specially set up on campus with live proceedings on screen. Each tent is set to hold 300 guests. Students will be convening in the gymnasium, still adhering to social distancing as mandated by health authorities. Even hand-shaking will be avoided during the ceremony to ensure no spread of the virus and yet still giving the students the reward they rightfully deserve.

A man who allegedly dumped objects off a bridge at Marsa has been apprehended by the police and is currently being questioned. The man reportedly threw bags loaded with all sorts of trash in them, but before arrest, the man was forced to clean up the ruckus he created. 

Video clips uploaded by Television Malta show the man, considerably enraged at the authorities, attempting to clean the road with a broom stick. The police officers attempted to calm the man down who constantly yelled their face as he cleaned.

Historical 1st place win for Maltese weightlifters in Small Nation Championships

Historical 1st place win for Maltese weightlifters in Small Nation Championships
Oct 17 2021 Share

Malta has made history once again as our athletes competing in the small nation championships have managed to place 1st for the first time ever. With a team made up of powerhouses Yazmin Stevens, Roberta Tabone, Anton Micallef, Vladislav Baldacchino and Shaun Ciantar, the national team achieved impressive feats, shooting Malta up to achieve yet another milestone and proving that we are capable of competing at the international level.

They managed to beat Cyprus (who came in 2nd) and Iceland (3rd). Posting to her social media, Stevens expressed her gratitude and joy as this was the first time the mixed group Maltese team won the championships. But that’s not all as elsewhere in the San Marino Open, the team made up of Kaya, Rylee and Aaliyah came in 4th place, continuing the achievements for our local athletes. Well done to all and on to the next!
