The first graduation ceremony for students of the Diploma in Chinese was held at the University of Malta.

This was the first time that students at the University of Malta could study Chinese at tertiary level.  The course leading to Diploma started in October 2010, once the Confucius Institute at the University of Malta had been established.

Both courses leading to the Diploma in Chinese and the B.A ./ B.A. (Hons) in Chinese are offered by the Confucius Institute through the Department of Oriental Studies, Faculty of Arts.
