Link Campus University of Malta's Mission Statement: Our main purpose is to prepare leaders for a changing world. The Link Campus University of Malta was founded in 1999, and is the first foreign university authorized to operate in Italy (D.M. 27.11.1999). Through its Italian branch the University of Malta has launched an international experiment on the harmonization of the higher education system's architecture, by activating an entire study cycle based on 3 plus 2, which maintains the traditional methodological setting of the Anglo-Saxon system - the most appreciated didactic model in the world in line with the Bologna Process. On the 4th July 2007, the Minister of University and research (MIUR), the Hon. Fabio Mussi, signed the Decree following the Lisbon Convention and the laws and acts of the Italian government which recognizes in Italy the degree qualifications of the Link Campus University. According to this innovative formative system, the academic year is divided in semesters and there is an obligation to sit for exams within the provided deadline dates. It guarantees that the academic degree may be achieved within the prescribed time. For this reason it is obligatory to attend all the lessons and if any exam were not passed, students can receive the assistance of a tutor to integrate the preparation in order to repeat the exam in a short time. It is a challenge that each student through adequate support will not remain at the University even a day more than it is prescribed by the study programme.
