The University of Malta said today that while at present, prospective students wishing to follow the Bachelor of Laws (Honours) course need to present three Intermediate Matriculation passes at Grade C or above, the Senate has now decided that as from 2014, only one of these passes (English or Maltese if not offered at Advanced Matriculation Level) must be at Grade C or better, whilst the other two passes can be Grade E or better.

Moreover, the Senate has decided to remove with immediate effect the requirement of either Italian or French at Intermediate Matriculation Level for admission to the Bachelor of Laws (Honours) course.

The Intermediate Matriculation Level requirements for this course from October 2015 onwards include three subjects chosen as follows: one subject from Group 2 (Humanistic), one subject from Group 3 (Science), and a third subject chosen from any Group (English and Maltese may not be chosen since they need to be presented at Advanced Matriculation Level at Grade C or better). The requirements for 2014 regarding English and Maltese remain unchanged.

Pending comprehensive consultation to be undertaken by the Faculty of Laws with the main stakeholders, it has been decided by Senate not to offer ‘Legal Studies’ as an Intermediate Matriculation Level subject in the Matriculation Certificate as previously announced, the University said.

Thus, the subject is being withdrawn by the MATSEC Board and Senate from the list of subjects that may be taken towards the Matriculation Certificate.

All sixth forms are being informed about this development.
