Maltese and English should be interchangeable as entry requirements for UOM. Keeping in mind that both Maltese and English are official languages in Malta either should qualify as sufficient. Many students attending Church and independent schools struggle with obtaining Maltese qualification whilst other children might have the same issue with English. Unless degree calls for language as a specific both Maltese or English should suffice.
I think the entry requirement of an O level in Maltese and English should remain. Many students have lost the knowledge of a 3rd and 4th language these days, it is very important especially when going down an academic route that students know both languages well. Language is very important in school and at the work place. It seem that we are losing the ability to write and reason.
