A more internet-friendly culture needs to be implemented at the University of Malta, said Francesca Buttigieg during her oration speech yesterday.
Ms Buttigieg, who received her degree in B. Pharmacy (Hons), also pointed out that the University should make better use of the internet and the services it offers.
“Not only is it more cost-effective and environmentally friendly but it will save the student time and effort,” said Ms Buttigieg. “It is not the first time that students go to University for a lecture and find out it has been cancelled.”
Through the Erasmus programme, pharmacy students had the opportunity to work in other countries – something that was not possible in Malta due to limited finances, she said.
During the second graduation ceremony also held yesterday afternoon, Kurt Vella Fonde, during his oration speech, said that those who work in the health sector are following a vocation.
Mr Vella Fonde yesterday received his degree in European Studies (Hons).
“This is an important moment in Malta’s medical history with a new hospital about to be inaugurated,” he said.
Mr Vella Fonde said that the European Studies course has very few hands-on units.
He suggested including more study units concerning EU funds and the various applications that exist.
“It is not enough to learn about foreign policy or political principles,” said Mr Vella Fonde. “We need to learn how EU funds can be applied tangibly.”
“Although most Arts courses do not automatically start you off in a fixed profession, it is a flexible area which can be applied to many different work sectors,” he said. “Unfortunately not many people appreciate this.”
Mr Vella Fonde spoke out against vandalism and students’ lack of respect for the University library.
“It is not the first time that a student goes to look for information in the library and finds that the required page is torn out,” he said.
The library needs to be constantly updated and it cannot remain in the state it is now, he said.
