Applied
Sciences
Applied Science relates to the application of scientific
knowledge to practical challenges and jobs. At the
Institute of Applied Sciences, learners are prepared for
technological careers within the health, pharmaceutical,
environmental, food and beverage, or general
engineering sectors. Students learn to appreciate
how the fundamental principles of science relate to
the technological operations of the workplace, while
developing the skills to work in laboratories, hospitals,
farms, and with environmental technologies and
methodologies, as well as to apply basic scientific
principles in industrial settings. The Institute building
at the main campus includes eleven fully-equipped
laboratories for training and research in several scientific
and technological fields. At the CAAAS Qormi Campus,
learners make use of facilities required for studies in a
more practical and hands-on approach.
Ix-Xjenza Applikata tirrigwarda l-applikazzjoni ta’ għarfien

xjentifiku għal sfidi u impjiegi prattiċi. Fl-Istitut tax-Xjenzi
Applikati, l-istudenti jitħejjew għal karrieri teknoloġiċi fis-
setturi tas-saħħa, farmaċewtiċi, ambjentali, tal-ikel u x-xorb,

Institute for
the Creative
Arts
Formerly known as the Institute of Art and Design, this
institute was established in 2001, merging the expertise
of the Art and Design Centre and Salvatore Dimech
School for Craftsmen. In 2014, the name was changed
to Institute for the Creative Arts to reflect its growing
portfolio of courses offered, ranging from art and design
to graphic design and interactive media, creative media
production, photography and journalism, and recently,
fashion design and performing arts as well as cultural
heritage skills.
The Institute works closely with the industry to provide

students with realistic assignment briefs and experiences.
The creative arts play a crucial role in communicating
visions and ideas which words alone cannot fully express.
They may also be perceived as means to educate, to
provide a cultural identity and act as agents of change.
Dan l-Istitut, li ġie stabbilit fl-2001, qabel kien magħruf bħala

l-Istitut tal-Arti u d-Disinn u jgħaqqad flimkien il-kompetenza
taċ-Ċentru tal-Arti u d-Disinn, u l-Iskola Salvatore Dimech
għal Persuni tas-Sengħa. Fl-2014, l-isem inbidel għall-Istitut
għall-Arti Kreattiva, biex jirrifletti l-portafoll dejjem jikber
ta’ korsijiet offruti, li jvarjaw mill-arti u d-disinn, għad-
disinn grafiku u l-midja interattiva, il-produzzjoni tal-midja
kreattiva, il-fotografija u l-ġurnaliżmu, id-disinn tal-moda u
l-arti tal-ispettaklu, kif ukoll il-ħiliet tal-patrimonju kulturali.
L-Istitut jaħdem mill-qrib mal-industrija biex jipprovdi

lill-istudenti tagħrif u esperjenzi ta’ xogħol realistiċi.
L-arti kreattiva għandha rwol kruċjali fil-komunikazzjoni
ta’ viżjonijiet u ideat li ma jistgħux jiġu espressi bil-kliem
biss. Tista’ tiġi meqjusa wkoll bħala mezz ta’ edukazzjoni, li
tipprovdi identità kulturali u taġixxi bħala aġent tal-bidla.
