The University of Malta is a public research university in the towns of Msida and Valletta, Malta, and the country's flagship and national university. Its precursor was the Collegium Melitense, a Jesuit college set up on 12 November 1592; the University of Malta officially came into existence on 22 November 1769, when Grand Master Manuel Pinto da Fonseca signed a decree constituting a Pubblica Università di Studi Generali. From 1937 to 1974 it was known as the Royal University of Malta, and in the late 1960s it opened a much larger campus at Tal-Qroqq in Msida while keeping the Valletta building. Its Institute of Space Sciences and Astronomy operates the Nadur Observatory in Gozo.
