Exciting New Chapter For IDEA College
IDEA College, formerly known as IDEA Academy, one of Malta’s premier educational institutions, has been officially launched. As part of the IDEA Group, which is proudly celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, the transformation marks a significant milestone.
Dr Silvio De Bono, the visionary founder and Chairperson of IDEA Group, described the shift from IDEA Academy to IDEA College as a natural evolution, reflecting the institution’s growth in both size and scope.
With over 1,200 active students from Malta, Europe, Asia, North Africa, and the Middle East, studying either at the Mosta campus or through a hybrid learning system, IDEA College is truly a melting pot of cultures and ideas.
Dr De Bono highlighted that IDEA Academy, licensed by MFHEA, offers more than 65 accredited programmes spanning from MQF Level 4 to MQF Level 8, including Doctorate (DBA), Masters, Bachelors, Diploma, and Certificate levels, along with bespoke corporate training. The curriculum is designed to cater to diverse economic sectors such as healthcare, nursing, hospitality, management, digital technology, the built environment, insurance, finance, compliance, logistics, education, earth sciences, sustainability, and more.
Ing Vince Maione, Deputy Chairman of IDEA Group, spoke passionately about the pivotal role of private education in Malta. He emphasised that education fuels economic growth by providing essential skills for various industries and significantly contributing to GDP.
In this landscape, the private sector shines by offering agile, industry-responsive education. However, he also stressed that the effectiveness of private education hinges on the efficiency of regulatory bodies and a fair competitive environment that includes public sector contributions.
Dr Nadia Maria Vassallo, Principal of IDEA College, expressed that the new prospectus embodies the spirit of the College. She reiterated that IDEA’s mission has always been to provide top-notch education and training for career-driven individuals, facilitate lifelong learning opportunities, and improve quality of life. The prospectus reflects these goals, catering to all who wish to invest in their careers.
The prospectus showcases a vast array of programmes, organized by levels, starting from Level 4 foundation certificates and advancing to Level 8. This structured progression ensures that students at IDEA College have a clear path to follow, potentially leading to doctoral-level achievements. Dr Vassallo emphasised the College’s commitment to providing these progression routes, ensuring that learners have the opportunity to advance as far as their ambitions and abilities allow.
Moreover, the prospectus details the accredited qualifications and awards offered by IDEA College, illustrating the pathways from one programme to the next. Dr Vassallo also highlighted the supportive role of IDEA College’s career advisors, who are always ready to assist students contemplating further studies.
