The Għaqda Studenti tat-­Teoloġija (GħST) is a faculty ­based student senate ­recognised organisation and the official student organisation of the Faculty of Theology. It is also one of the oldest and smallest student organisations still around. 

Originally the Royal University Students’ Theological Association, the Għaqda Studenti tat­-Teoloġija was formally founded in 1945. However, it was recently discovered that the Association was in fact a spin­off from an earlier society called ‘Ċirkolu ta’ Studju bejn l-­Istudenti tal-­Kors Akkademiku tat-Teoloġija’ whose first meeting was held on the 21st December 1942 at St Joseph’s Institute in Ħamrun.

Today, the Għaqda Studenti tat­-Teoloġija is above all else at the service of its members: the students reading theology at any level at the University of Malta. Għ.S.T. was the pioneer among Maltese student organisations to publish its own scientific review, “Melita Theologica”, which was first issued in 1947.
