Junior College and Church/Private Sixth Forms
Junior College prepares students specifically for the Matriculation Certificate Examination (MATSEC), which serves as a passport for university degree courses. During the two years at Junior College, students follow two subjects at the Advanced level, three at the Intermediate level, and Systems of Knowledge.
Entry requirements: To be admitted to Junior College a student needs six passes in the Secondary Education Certificate (SEC) at Grade 5/C or better. The subjects must include Maltese, English Language, Mathematics, one science subject (Physics, Chemistry, or Biology), and two other subjects.
Applicants who do not hold SEC qualifications, but have qualifications from other boards, may still be admitted following a favourable recommendation of the Admissions Board.
De La Salle College, St. Aloysius’ College, and St. Martin’s College also offer a two-year course preparing students for the Matriculation Certificate. These courses will enable successful students to qualify for entry to the University of Malta. St. Edward’s and Verdala International School offer the IB course (International Baccalaureate) which is recognised by foreign universities.
Giovanni Curmi Higher Secondary School offers the Advanced, Intermediate, and SEC Level (AIO) Courses and the Matriculation Certificate Course (MC) leading to entry to university.
