The Junior College, was established in 1995 at the University of Malta. It offers a two-year course specifically designed for future University students who are prepared for the Matriculation Certificate in accordance with the University's General Entry Requirements.
Students may choose from a wide range of subjects and must take two subjects at Advanced Level, three at Intermediate Level, as well as Systems of Knowledge.
While providing formal instruction, the College encourages students to develop their own initiative through guided self-teaching in preparation for their future University career.
Since the College forms part of the University of Malta, students are able to become familiar with the University campus. There is a healthy interaction between College and University students who collaborate on cultural projects such as concerts, drama, sport, student exchanges, debates, seminars and so on.
Orientation talks are held regularly at the College and are addressed by the Deans of the various University Faculties and students may benefit from advice from University lecturers regarding future areas of study.
The UoM-JC Physics Department
We have highly motivated academic staff with a genuine passion for the subject and for teaching. The work of our academic staff contributes to an outstanding student experience. It has become increasingly advantageous to choose to study physics at the UoM-JC. For instance, it is well know that the UoM-JC offers virtually any combination of subjects. When one considers all the new courses being introduced by the University of Malta and the changes in requirements for admission to specific courses offered, it becomes very clear that this advantage should not be overlooked. However, as recent student surveys confirm, the knowledge, experience, talent and motivation of our academic staff members is regarded as being the greatest asset.
