Example Monthly Costs for an Internship in Malta
Malta offers a great balance of affordability and quality of life for interns, especially given its Mediterranean charm. Below is an indicative overview of monthly costs, which may vary depending on the city (e.g., Valletta, Sliema, St. Julian’s) and your personal lifestyle.
- Housing: €400 – €1,000
Accommodation costs depend on the location and type of housing (shared apartment, student housing, or private studio). Popular areas like Sliema and St. Julian’s are more expensive, while areas further from the coast tend to be more affordable. - Living expenses (groceries, dining out): €200 – €400
Groceries are relatively affordable, and Malta offers a wide range of dining options. Local eateries and restaurants can be quite cheap, but dining at tourist spots will be more expensive. - Transportation (public transport, bike, etc.): €30 – €70
Public transport in Malta is affordable, with buses being the primary mode of travel. A monthly bus pass can save money. Malta is also compact, so walking or cycling is a good option in many areas.

SIM cards with data plans are available at low costs. Internet is often included in rent or can be arranged separately. - Insurance (health insurance, travel insurance): €30 – €70
Travel or health insurance is essential during your stay, covering you for medical emergencies or travel issues. - Other expenses (gym, trips, entertainment): €50 – €150
