It delivers Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes (MQF Level 6-7) and higher education courses (MQF Level 5-7) that are licensed by the Malta Further & Higher Education Authority (MFHEA) under Licence No. 2005-TC-001 and mapped to the Malta Qualifications Framework and aligned with the European Qualifications Framework.

The institution generates revenue primarily through tuition and degree programme fees, with pricing not publicly disclosed and prospective students directed to contact the school directly. Go-to-market combines a direct-to-student channel via the institutional website and on-campus enrollment in St. Julian's with a partner-led channel consisting of eie International Centres in India, UAE, Austria, Bulgaria, Libya, and Tunisia, a Dubai Partner Campus, a Delhi-based Asia Office, and a wider network of international recruitment partners. The primary customer segment is international students seeking EU-accredited business degrees at accessible price points; secondary segments include corporate partners for graduate recruitment and industry-aligned curriculum, and recruitment partners referring candidates.

Operationally, the school emphasises face-to-face instruction with sea-view lecture facilities in Malta's St. Julian's district, proximity to financial services and gaming employers for networking, and global recognition of its degrees. Underlying technology is conventional educational delivery rather than a software or AI-enabled platform; no proprietary technology products, APIs, or AI features are evidenced in the available data.
