Yesterday, our Master in Family Therapy and Systemic Practice class of 2026 welcomed members of the Department, lecturers, and placement supervisors to a special get-together to celebrate the completion of their academic journey.

It was a wonderful opportunity to reflect on their achievements, acknowledge the support of those who guided them along the way, and mark this important milestone together.

Congratulations to all our students on their success! We look forward to celebrating with you again at your graduation in March 2027. 🎓

The Christmas season in Malta is truly special — from colourful village decorations and festive pantomimes to nativity and crib displays, and children’s excitement about Father Christmas visiting our sunny island. It’s a time of warmth, family, and giving.
