Bridging Malta to global education: Elephant and Cross teams up with Bath University AS Malta's leading online educa- tion agency, Elephant and Cross is committed to making education more accessible, achievable, and convenient. The agency is con- tinuously striving to expand its education offerings by increasing its options for online courses in Malta. The cornerstone of their mission is providing online alter- natives that are recognised within Malta, the UK, and beyond - and by doing so, helping students reach their full potential. When considering higher edu- cation, many envision physically attending an institution, juggling long hours of lectures, navigating traffic congestion, or struggling to find the one remaining parking spot somewhere between Gzira and Msida. The challenge of se- curing a part-time job that accom- modates academic commitments further complicates this pursuit of higher education. Elephant and Cross are passion- ate about removing these barriers, providing students of all ages with opportunities to enhance their careers, develop new skills, or em- bark on a fresh academic journey. A Strategic Educational Alliance Building on its successful collab- oration with the Open Business School (OBS), Elephant and Cross has once again proven its dedica- tion to bringing world-class edu- cational opportunities to Maltese students. Its latest partnership with the University of Bath, a pres- tigious Russell Group institution known for academic excellence, marks a significant milestone in the company's mission to broaden access to quality education. Learning Without Limits While Elephant and Cross offers a diverse range of courses, certain programs stand out as particularly beneficial for career advancement in the local scene. Eager to con- tinue your education but unsure about which course might be right for you? Their course ad- visors are just a call away, ready to chat through your concerns and options—ensuring you find the perfect course for you. With backgrounds in recruitment that highlight their expertise in the lo- cal job market, their course advi- sors are always happy to help align students' studies with their career goals. Just to give you a peek into the exciting options available, here are some of Elephant and Cross's most popular courses tailored for the Maltese job market: • Diploma in Accounting & Finance • Diploma in Business Man- agement • Diploma in Human Re- sources Bonus Tip: These diplomas aren't just online certificates. They're fully accredited, with the option to progress to the final year of a Bachelor's degree. Upon com- pletion, students may apply for a 70% refund via the Get Qualfiied Scheme. This along with their af- fordable monthly payment plan, averaging at just €220 a month, has helped make education more accessible than ever. A Future of Boundless Education- al Opportunities The partnership between El- ephant and Cross and the Uni- versity of Bath isn't just about adding another prestigious name to the roster—it's about opening doors to a world of possibilities for learners in Malta. This collabora- tion embodies a shared vision of education that is accessible, flexi- ble, and tailored to the realities of modern life. Imagine pursuing a globally recognised qualification without uprooting your life or sacrificing your work commitments. That's the power of flexible learning, and it's exactly what Elephant & Cross is bringing to Malta. Whether you're a busy professional look- ing to upskill, a parent balancing family responsibilities, or some- one simply seeking a more adapt- able approach to education, these courses are designed with you in mind.
