EIMS Higher Education Institution

What EIMS Higher Education Institution does

EIMS Higher Education Institution (European Institute for Medical Studies) is a Malta-licensed private Higher Education Institution headquartered in St Julians, Malta, operating under MFHEA licence 2018-004. The institution delivers MFHEA-accredited programmes in dental and medical sciences across MQF/EQF Levels 6 and 7, including a three-year Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Dental Science (BScDS, 180 ECTS), a two-year Award in Foundations of Dental Science (120 ECTS, offered in Italian and English), a postgraduate Award in Principles of Surgery for Implantology (6 ECTS), and a portfolio of CPD awards. EIMS primarily serves Italian students seeking residential English-language dental education in Europe, with newer international and practicing-dentist cohorts, and delivers all programmes face-to-face at its St Julians campus.

The underlying technology stack is a Moodle-based Learning Management System integrated with a Digital Laboratories suite comprising Labster simulations in microbiology, molecular biology, genetics, and dental materials; Histology Virtual Labs with digital slides sourced from academic centres in Minneapolis, Leeds, and Genoa; 3D Anatomy Software; Immersify Education VR-based anatomy modules; embryology labs; and a Global Health Starter Kit adapted from Harvard School of Dental Medicine. The Classter Academic Portal handles grades, attendance, and student records, while an open-access research repository on Zenodo publishes faculty and student outputs. All programmes require supervised placement hours alongside digital simulation, positioning EIMS as a hybrid residential-plus-digital delivery model rather than an online institution.

EIMS operates a direct-to-consumer business model with annual tuition of approximately €7,000 for the BScDS and Foundation programmes (€8,500 for non-EU students on the Foundation programme), €1,500 for the Implantology CPD, and €480-€720 for shorter CPD awards, supplemented by €100 application fees, €250 matriculation fees, and €150 final certificate fees. Demand generation relies on the institutional website, partner-institution referrals across Malta, Italy, and Portugal (GCM, IDEA, USMF, Grun, Kennedy, UFP, AOUCagliari, Fondazione Mattei, STOA), and the Malta Enterprise Get Qualified Scheme, which rebates 70% of tuition to qualifying students. With only 7 disclosed employees and no reported revenue or funding rounds, EIMS is a micro-scale institution whose economics depend on small annual cohorts and partner-channel-driven student acquisition.

Direct peers

• University of Malta Faculty of Dental Surgery: Malta's primary state dental school, the most direct local competitor for both Maltese students and faculty talent. EIMS competes head-to-head for domestic dental education demand in the same regulatory jurisdiction.
• BPP University School of Health: UK-based for-profit higher education institution offering healthcare programmes including dental-related courses. Comparable to EIMS as a private, accredited, vocationally-focused HEI serving career-switchers and international students.
• Universidad Europea (Faculty of Dentistry): Private Spanish university group with dental programmes taught partly in English and targeting international students. Comparable business model to EIMS as a private European HEI with a focus on health sciences and international recruitment.
• Universidade Fernando Pessoa (Faculty of Health Sciences): Portuguese private university that is an EIMS academic partner, offering dental and health programmes. Comparable as a private European HEI delivering English-medium dental education, and a partner pathway for EIMS graduates.
• University of Genoa - Dental School: Italian public university with dental programmes and an EIMS partner institution. Comparable as an Italian-facing dental higher education provider and as a pathway partner for EIMS graduates seeking degree completion.
• European University Cyprus School of Medicine: Cyprus-based private university offering health science programmes including dentistry in English. Closely comparable to EIMS as a small, English-language, EU-licensed private HEI attracting international students seeking European health qualifications.

Regional players

• Medical University of Sofia - Faculty of Dental Medicine: Bulgarian public dental school with long tradition of attracting international (including Italian) students to English-language programmes. Comparable to EIMS as an EU-based dental HEI serving Italian and international recruitment markets.
• Penrhyn International: UK-based pathway provider preparing international students for medical and dental school admission in Europe. Comparable to EIMS's foundation/Award programmes as a feeder pathway into European dental degree progression.

Broad incumbents

• Academic Centre for Dentistry Amsterdam (ACTA): Joint venture between University of Amsterdam and VU Amsterdam offering dentistry and oral health programmes. Comparable to EIMS as a European dental higher education provider but with vastly stronger research profile, scale, and reputation.
• King's College London Dental Institute: One of the largest and most established dental schools in Europe, offering BDS and postgraduate dental programmes. Comparable to EIMS as a dental higher education provider targeting EU and international students, but with vastly greater scale, brand, and research output.
