Introduction

In 2007 St Martin’s College inaugurated a modern, new Sixth Form in the belief that there was a niche for a high-quality College offering a pre-University education focused on intense teaching in small groups.

The Sixth Form is now a success story, with tailored guidance offered to students who are encouraged to choose a combination of subjects that best suits their personal abilities and ambitions. Individual attention is guaranteed as groups are kept small, with a maximum of 12 students in Advanced level classes and 15 at Intermediate level.

While the majority of students follow the MATSEC certification course which prepares students for entry to the University of Malta, as well as enabling them to apply for universities abroad, they are also allowed to select combinations of subjects depending on the institution of higher education they might be hoping to join. St Martin's College is registered with UCAS, so that students may apply online to UK universities through the college. The progress of each application can then be monitored through its various stages.

Apart from the academic programme, students are encouraged to participate in a number of activities such as Young Enterprise or the 'Speak your Mind' competition, and are expected to participate in 50 hours of community work, which is an integral component of the St Martin's College Sixth Form programme.
