Internship in Malta: the trendiest types of internships

One of the first questions you ask yourself when preparing your internship in Malta is:
which sector should you apply to?

Many students wrongly think that there are “not really any internships” on the island.

Wrong.

Malta is a very interesting destination for European interns. As long as you know where to look.
Here are the 6 sectors that are truly recruiting in Malta, and the one we particularly recommend.

The myth to forget: “there are no internships in Malta”

That is what many students think. And yet, it is false.

If you search on major internship platforms, you may find only a few offers in Malta.
Not because the positions do not exist, but because local companies recruit differently:
through their network, via intermediaries like Stud&Globe, or through spontaneous applications.

In short, doing an internship in Malta also means learning how to search differently. Malta is an island to be discovered,
not just a search engine to question.

1. International startups: the linguistic comfort zone

Are you a little afraid of English? Would you like to improve your level without jumping straight into the deep end?

Good news: Malta does not only attract students. Many European entrepreneurs create their startups there,
attracted by several advantages:

• an attractive tax environment;
• accessible administration;
• complete integration into the European ecosystem;
• a quality of life that appeals to international teams.

Many French, Italian and Spanish entrepreneurs set up their companies in Malta. As a result, you can join an international company
where French is sometimes still spoken internally, while immersing yourself in Maltese and English-speaking culture.

It is the ideal compromise to improve your English without too much pressure.

2. Subsidiaries of multinationals: a big name on your CV

Do you want to add a prestigious name to your CV? Malta can offer you great opportunities.

Many multinationals have set up their European offices there, particularly in communication, audit, consulting,
iGaming and even aviation.

Some examples of companies present in Malta

• Ogilvy, in communication;
• Deloitte, PwC and KPMG, in audit and consulting;
• Betsson, Tipico and Kindred Group, in iGaming;
• Lufthansa Technik, in aviation.

The advantage? Because the island is small, these subsidiaries often keep an atmosphere close to that of a startup.
So you get the best of both worlds: a recognized brand on your CV and the friendliness of a close-knit team.

As highlighted by The Intern Group, doing an internship in a multinational subsidiary abroad remains one of the best career accelerators for a young graduate.

3. Tech, fintech and iGaming: the island’s economic engine

Malta has become, in just a few years, a true European tech hub.

Several sectors regularly recruit international profiles:

• web and mobile development: front-end, back-end, full-stack;
• digital marketing: SEO, online advertising, content, social media;
• data and analytics;
• cybersecurity;
• iGaming, a very developed sector in Malta.

For a student in engineering school, business school or digital marketing, it is a goldmine of opportunities. The official agency Malta Enterprise lists the island’s main players and key growth sectors.

If you want to add an innovative and international experience to your background, this is clearly a sector to consider.

4. Customer relations: a demand that never runs dry

Many Maltese companies regularly recruit interns for multilingual customer relations roles.

The missions may include:

• telephone reception;
• online support by chat, email or ticketing;
• after-sales service;
• account management;
• international customer management.

One important point: you will generally need a good level of English, often around B2 minimum.
For a company, putting an intern in direct contact with customers requires a minimum level of language proficiency.

But if you speak good English, or if you master several European languages,
you can find excellent opportunities for a customer relations internship in Malta.

5. Tourism: a sector with no real low season

Malta welcomes a very large number of tourists every year compared to its population.
Tourism is therefore one of the island’s economic pillars.

The sector recruits at several levels:

• travel agencies and tour operators;
• excursions and water activities;
• festivals and events;
• tourism marketing and communication;
• business tourism and MICE.

Unlike some Mediterranean destinations, Malta never really stops.
The high season generally runs from April to November, but winter remains active thanks to conferences,
cinema and business tourism.

For students interested in tourism, events or communication,
doing an internship in Malta can therefore be a very good option.

6. Luxury hospitality: the best internship option in Malta

This is our conviction: the best internship in Malta is often in hospitality.

Why? Because:

• the hotel sector is highly developed on the island;
• Maltese hotels are mainly 4- and 5-star establishments;
• teams are international by nature;
• you learn from experienced professionals;
• you work in a demanding and highly formative environment.
