AldermereCollege of Arts & Social Sciences

The college

Fifty years of insisting on evidence.

Founded in 1974, still independent, still small, still teaching the work rather than the theory of it.

The college began as a reading room with a table and three tutors, teaching journalism to people who already had jobs. That inheritance shapes everything: evening teaching, small groups, and a suspicion of any module that cannot be examined by looking at what a student produced.

What we are

An independent college of arts and social sciences in Valletta, offering five professional programmes to about 740 students a year.

What we are not

A university. We do not award degrees, and we do not claim accreditation. What we issue is a certificate of completion that names the programme and the assessment completed.

Governance

A principal, a programme board, and two external members drawn from practice. Programme content is reviewed each year with the people who hire our graduates.
