Almost Year-Round Sunshine  Malta is perfect for you if you’re looking for warmth. During the summer months it gets pleasantly hot (without being too hot) and during the [winter months](https://info.traveledventures.com/why-malta-is-the-perfect-destination-for-a-winter-semester-with-traveledventures-and-erasmus), December to February, it has an average temperature of around 60 to 70 Degrees Fahrenheit.  So, no need to pack woolly sweaters or coats, a lightweight jacket, a couple of sweatshirts, and plenty of shorts!  There are glorious beaches, the sun, sea and surf, so if you want to spend your free time on a sun lounger or doing water sports, where better than Malta?  ## 2. Malta Is Really Safe  Known for safety, you can feel completely at ease while exploring this wondrous island.  The crime rate is so low that your family won’t worry about you half as much as if you were living in a busy European city.  You can also travel safely in Malta, and as it’s so small, you can walk or cycle to most places you need to get to without concern.  ## 3. Most Maltese People Speak English  The main language in Malta is Maltese but the second language is English, so even if you only have basic English skills you’ll get by just fine, and you’ll get a chance to improve your spoken English too.  This is a real bonus, as English is the most widely-spoken language in the whole world, valued by future employers!  ## 4. Malta Has a Brilliant University  On the island, you’ll find a top-class university, [The University of Malta](https://www.um.edu.mt/) is hugely popular with international students.  It also has an enormous list of courses – and covers almost every subject you could possibly think of.  Of course, as well as the university, there are plenty of colleges too where you can undertake a vocational qualification if that is your preference.  ## 5. The INHAWI Boutique Hostel  Then there’s the accommodation.  The INHAWI Boutique Hostel located in St Juliens, is a first-rate hostel ideal for students and solo travellers.  It’s clean, comfortable, safe and provides a free breakfast, free Wii-Fi, air-conditioning and an outdoor pool.  Popular with young adults, we’ll let you into a small secret – it’s run by TravelEdventures and gives you yet another excellent reason to stay in Malta!  Safety and security is INHAWI’s priority, which is why travelling to Malta has never been so great!  ## Final Words  So there you have it – 5 reasons to choose Malta for your Erasmus+ or Turing Scheme group and what’s more, if you ask TravelEdventures, we’ll organise everything for your group, from the courses to the accommodation, and an itinerary packed full of exciting activities too!  Get in touch with the team [here](https://www.traveledventures.com/contact/).  Topics: [Turing Scheme](https://info.traveledventures.com/tag/turing-scheme) [Erasmus+](https://info.traveledventures.com/tag/erasmus) [Malta](https://info.traveledventures.com/tag/malta) ### Comments: ## Read On ### [College Students to Benefit From the New Turing Scheme The Turing scheme will be backed by over £100 million, providing funding for around 35,000 students...](https://info.traveledventures.com/college-students-to-benefit-from-the-new-turing-scheme) ### [The Turing Scheme: Improving Future Employability Prospects The Turing Scheme supports Global Britain by providing an opportunity for UK organisations from the...](https://info.traveledventures.com/the-turing-scheme-improving-future-employability-prospects) ### [Why Trust is So Important When It Comes to Choosing an Erasmus+/Turing Scheme Partner Every country that takes part in Erasmus+ (most of Europe – with the exception of the United...](https://info.traveledventures.com/why-trust-is-so-important-when-it-comes-to-choosing-an-erasmus/turing-scheme-partner) - [Terms & Conditions](https://www.traveledventures.com/terms-conditions/) - [CONTACT](https://www.traveledventures.com/contact/) - [Privacy Policy](https://www.traveledventures.com/privacy-policy/) Copyright 2020 © **[Travel Edventures](https://www.traveledventures.com)**
