University Courses commencing in October 2013

                







Applicants for undergraduate level courses are required to satisfy the General Entry Requirements for admission to the University of Malta. Applicants are also required to satisfy the Special Course Requirements where applicable.

The General Entry Requirements are the following:

(a) the Matriculation Certificate obtained with an overall Grade C or better; and
(b) passes at grade 5 or better in the Secondary Education Certificate examinations in English Language, Maltese* and Mathematics.

The Matriculation Certificate Examination is offered in a wide range of subjects divided among groups structured in such a way as to ensure that all candidates study subjects from both the Humanities and the Science areas as follows:

Group 1: Maltese, Arabic, English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Latin, Russian, Spanish.
Group 2: Accounting, Economics, Geography, History, Marketing, Philosophy, Religious Knowledge, Sociology.
Group 3: Applied Mathematics (Mechanics), Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Science, Physics, Pure Mathematics.
Group 4: Art, Computing, Engineering Drawing, Graphical Communication, Home Economics and Human Ecology, Information Technology, Music.

Candidates are required to sit for examinations in:
• one subject chosen from each of Groups 1, 2 and 3
• two other subjects chosen from any of the four groups
• Systems of Knowledge.
Two subjects must be taken at Advanced Level and the other three subjects at Intermediate Level.

Note regarding Group 2 and Group 4 subjects: Psychology and Business Studies also satisfy the requirement of a subject from Group 2, whereas Physical Education can be accepted as a subject from Group 4.

The Matriculation Certificate is awarded with a single overall grade which is given as A, B or C in descending order of merit.

Applicants who completed their secondary education outside Malta are required to present qualifications comparable to the General Entry Requirements and the Special Course Requirements as applicable.

In the case of overseas applicants, the lack of a pass in Systems of Knowledge by itself would not preclude acceptance, as long as other qualifications make up for its absence.
