We offer you a unique opportunity to acquire some ‘in the field’ experience. The islands of Malta present a kaleidoscope of past and present: a fascinating legacy of European culture and rural Mediterranean traditions, represented in the living history of the fishing villages. Situated in the heart of the Mediterranean, Malta possesses a typical island culture. Yet, this has not led to isolation, on the contrary. As a consequence of its location at the crossroads of maritime routes between Europe, Africa and Asia, Malta has always been strategically important. Many different cultures set foot on the islands, leaving their imprint. These foreign influences are for instance obviously present in the Maltese language. At the same time, Malta has a perfectly English-speaking population. This enhances the accessibility for foreign researchers like the starting anthropologist! Plenty of possibilities for interesting field research are available: from architectural and religious sites to tourism and ethnic relations.
