    They have very good prices for degree programs that, at least by their names, appear tailor made for today's IT world. And they have just a handful of programs rather than try to be everything to everyone.

    They're also another interesting example of how Malta is developing as a European hub for internationally-minded distance learning institutions.

    Looks like a worthy new entrant.
    Interesting how they are touting their link with WES. The link itself is no big deal - looks like they are merely set up to send transcripts to WES electronically. But what they're really saying is that they expect a positive WES evaluation - which is probably true, and also tells us that other Malta-accredited outfits will almost certainly get favorable evaluation as well. This is CRUCIAL for what is likely OPIT's key target market - students seeking to use the credential to improve their visa or immigration applications. A Master's degree can get an applicant extra points in Canadian point-based immigration scheme, or upgrade US employment-based green card bid from priority 3 to priority 2 - shortening the queue for applicants from some countries (ok, India) by YEARS. Good concept.
