Malta Rocks & Educational Institutions
Stage op Malta is proud to be part of Malta Rocks, an initiative by ROCvAF. ROCvAF has established the Malta Hub, ensuring that every student doing an internship in Malta can rely on Stage op Malta as a local point of contact. We are available to answer questions and provide support on-site, always in close collaboration with the school.
Other educational institutions have also found their way to Stage op Malta. They appreciate having a Dutch-speaking contact person on the island and entrust us with their internship placements.
Accreditation & Recognition
We maintain close ties with SBB, allowing us to facilitate and speed up the accreditation process for companies that wish to become recognized training organizations. Additionally, we are a recognized training company ourselves!
Accommodation & Insurance
For student accommodation, Stage op Malta refers students to Mijn Stage Malta, a specialized organization for student housing in Malta.
We also collaborate with InsureToStudy, an insurance company designed specifically for students going abroad for an internship. One insurance that covers everything, hassle-free. Depending on the selected package, this insurance provides travel insurance, additional health insurance, and liability insurance, even covering your internship workplace.
This is crucial because your basic Dutch health insurance often provides little to no coverage abroad, and when it does, it is usually limited to emergency medical care at Dutch reimbursement rates. This means that if you need medical assistance abroad, your insurance will only cover costs up to the amount that is standard in the Netherlands. Any excess costs must be paid out of pocket. That’s why we recommend taking out private insurance to ensure full coverage and avoid unexpected expenses.
For more information, visit www.insuretostudy.com or email info@insuretostudy.com.
If you need assistance in finding suitable accommodation near your internship company, Stage op Malta collaborates closely with Mijn Malta Stage, a placement agency specialized in student housing. Here too, you will have a Dutch-speaking contact person who will help you find the right accommodation.
Here you will find the registration form. As soon as we have received the form, we will contact you for a first free introductory meeting. This conversation will take place online.

These costs can be paid from, for example: Erasmus+
Erasmus+, is a European program for education, training, youth and sport in Europe. The scholarship is intended for EU students who want to study or do an internship in another country within the European Union.
The exact amount of the scholarship depends on the destination and the cost of living there. You apply for the grant at your own educational institution, they are the ones who then allocate the budget for the students. It is best to inquire with the international office or a dean. They often also know more about additional requirements and deadlines. Apply for the scholarship on time! Schools often have a certain budget available per year, and you don’t want to miss out.
Even if you have recently graduated, you are still eligible for the Erasmus grant. The condition is that you must not have received your diploma no more than a year ago and you need to submit the grant application while you are still enrolled at an educational institution.
As a student you will probably receive a student travel product from DUO and NS. You can also benefit from this when you go abroad. If you suspend your student travel product, you can receive a reimbursement of approximately € 120.96 per month in 2023. Click here for more information.
Even if you receive student finance in the Netherlands, it is possible to take it abroad. This is only possible if you remain enrolled at your current educational institution. The financing remains the same as if you were to stay in the Netherlands.
More information about the possibilities can be found on the DUO website.
If you want to invest in something, you have to save for it. Doing an internship abroad costs money. You need money for your accommodation, for public transport, for food and drinks and of course for going out and having fun. Many costs can be covered from the grant from Erasmus+ or the Dutch student finance, but it is always nice to have an extra lira.

Internship Malta helped me fantastically when I only had a week left to find an accredited internship. Her quick action and professionalism made all the difference. Thanks to her efforts, I now have a great internship, which could not have been better. In short, excellent service! What was extra special is that Yolande conducted a free and pleasant online meeting beforehand. This gave me a nice idea of the service I could expect. As a result, the whole process was not only efficient but also personal and caring.

Hi, I'm Lotte and I am currently doing an internship in Malta at an Event Agency that works for international companies based in France, Belgium & the Netherlands. We organize large events for these companies, which also involves arranging accommodation, activities & dinners. What do I do? I manage the various media accounts for this company, I also edit various photos, write texts about the various locations, create content agendas, filters and themes for posting. In addition, when the events start again (April), I can work on location to take photos and videos of the various events. This will allow me to see a lot of the island during my internship period. All in all, the perfect balance for me between an internship and enjoying the island.
Lotte van Laarhoven (Student Media & Eventmanagement, SintLucas College)
We would like to thank Yolande again for her help! In addition to being professional, Yolande is also a very warm person. She helped us very well with finding an internship. Although there were some complications in the beginning between the company and us in agreeing the contract, this was also resolved successfully with her help. We could always contact her with our questions and she was there as a good intermediary. It was an exciting step for us to do an internship abroad, but Yolande reassured us enormously by guiding us well. We definitely recommend other students to look for an internship in Malta through Yolande.
Lots of love Vera and Yenthl (students Legal Administrative Services, Summa College)
It was such a pleasure to welcome the students of Albeda College, the Netherlands and Yolande Kleinjan to the Cugo Gran Macina to show them around our Fortress. Such a great bunch of young minds, who I’m quite sure are going on to do amazing things! Cugó Gran Collection #students #fortress

I met Yolande through our international internship office. Yolande has been helping me connect with company visits for two years. The cooperation is very pleasant and smooth.

I had the pleasure to collaborate with Yolande for two consecutive years, and I couldn’t be happier with the service provided. She is very professional with coordinating all the paperwork required, selecting the students and organize the interviews, and always available throughout the internship for anything that may arise. Other than being an excellent professional, it is a pleasure working with her also for her human side.
