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.  Subjects chosen should also include any Special Course Requirements needed for their prospective University course. 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.

Services provided by the College also include counselling and pastoral guidance.
