    15th April.

    Are you applying based on your a-levels? Have you done a language at AS?

    Does everyone have to take the matriculation test then, or will they accept an application based on A levels?

    Hey, I have just started to fill in the application for the university of Malta. I got to know about this university very recently almost by random. Anyway I'm very glad I found out because the prospect of studying there seems appealing. I'll be submitting my application very soon.

    Bdw, I how did you go about applying and with what grades?? I would like to hear from you.

    Judi

    Hello, I really want to apply to Malta but I was told that I need a language to atleast AS level. Has anyone else been told about this? Have you done a language to AS level?
    If you've already sent your application, was it accepted? If you're applying with a levels what are your subjects?
    Really want to apply but don't know if they'll accept my application without a language or not ... Any help apprecaited

    Hey Aysha,
    Who told you that you need to have an AS language? because as far as I'm aware what they ask for is passes at grade B or better in Chemistry and Biology (compulsory subjects) and another in any other subject not although, specifically a language.

    Hello Judi,
    Admission staff told me. They said the language is a general requirement for applying to UoM. The B in biology and chemistry is specific course requirement for medicine.
    Did they tell you otherwise and have you applied yet? Thanks

    I have been told by the admission staff that an AS language is a minimum requirement for admission to the uni. The grades required in Chemistry and Biology are just the grades required for medicine. If anyone hears otherwise, please inform me.

    As a graduate do you need to have a language at AS? I've sent my application off but I wasn't asked for a language at AS level

    Anybody know?

    Hey,

    Yeah I have sent my application as a graduate too and I've been hearing people saying about the language requirement. However, there are people who have already got offers without a language although, many tend to be graduates. I guess they assess each application on individual basis.

    I am now reading that a Humanistic subject is also required. Anybody know what a humanistic subject is and anybody who has got it? If so, please tell me. i have a language but no humanistic subject, as all my AS subject were sciences (Chemistry, Biology, Physics and Maths). And an AS language that I will be doing in June. if anyone has any other subjects that they are applying with, please tell me.
    Thanks

    Hi GreenIs,

    As a graduate you do not need a language or Humanities requirement. When did you send your application? I sent mine on 16th of Feb. Have not heard back yet.

    Hey just a quick question...why are you all keen on applying to Malta specifically? There are several eastern european schools in countries like croatia, hungary, poland, etc so what specifically about malta is attractive? thanks.
    Probably because Malta is a former UK dependency and english is an offical language - if it came to it, I'd choose malta over eastern europe!

    You can even choose to do your foundation training in Malta and apply through FPAS.

    If you are applying after your A levels then yes you do need a language at AS Level and additionally a humanities subject. If you are applying as a graduate the criterion change. Why don't you call up the International applications office and clarify?

    hey guys, I have also applied to Malta.
    I was a bit unsure about the whole form, I applied with 'local qualifications' put in my A2 BIO & CHEM grades, and in the 'intermediate level' put in my A2 FRENCH and AS MATHS grade.

    Didnt put in any GCSE's was unsure where to put them...

    very confusing.

    Yeah the application is pretty confusing. I put my maths and english GCSE only where they had the place for them with the maltese language (but left that blank obviously).
    Good luck with it
