Our students
Betapsi is a non-governmental organisation that represents sixth-form and University psychology students. Betapsi does not merely target psychology students but rather aims to infiltrate the whole student body as well as the Maltese population. The organisation aims to equip students with psychological knowledge by means of educational events, works on making our knowledge more extensive and increasing the impact we strive to make by doing research and making our voice heard on a governmental level, if need be, by means of the Social Policy Commissioner and to improve our skills by keeping in touch with local professionals, in the hands of the External Relations Officer. Moreover, Betapsi also expands the students’ boundaries by organising student trips and exchanges which serve both educational as well as leisure purposes, and organises leisure events which allow students to build relationships with each other in a laid-back context. Betapsi also collaborates with other University organisations and professionals such as the Willingness team in order to create fun and interesting debates, conferences and events which serve to educate and entertain all students.
Criminology Students Association Criminology Students Association is an independent organisation; by students for students. CSA raises awareness of criminology and issues relating to criminology in Malta and overseas. Whilst increasing and enhancing the public’s knowledge about the interesting world of criminology, CSA also works hard to improve the welfare of the students studying criminology at The University of Malta. Furthermore, CSA also highlights the importance of all the interdisciplinary fields that cover the study of criminology. Criminology plays a major role in the criminal justice system, in the victim sector and within society as a whole. Criminologists are able to psychologically, legally and socially contribute immensely to help both criminals and victims with their reintegration and reformation leading to bettering communities; it is a rewarding career path to take! Do not hesitate to contact us, we would be happy to help with any queries! We look forward to hearing from you
