Find out about studying a degree on-Island

UCM to hold open evening later this month

Anyone interested in studying an undergraduate, postgraduate or degree-level qualification on-Island has been invited to an open evening at University College Isle of Man’s Nunnery campus on 17 January.

The event will be held between 4.30pm and 7pm for anyone who wants to find out more about the University College’s higher education courses.

UCM’s Higher Education offering includes degrees in areas such as Art & Design, Business, Computing, Finance & Administration, Health & Social Care, History, Sport and Nursing.

Additionally, higher education level qualifications are also offered in areas such as Engineering, Quality Assurance, Education & Training, Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector and Leadership & Management.

Higher Education Manager, Gail Corrin said: "Throughout the year UCM hold various open events, and this one is specifically for people considering higher education. Whether that’s school or college students who are currently doing their A levels or Level 3 qualifications and want to progress to university, mature students who want to attain an undergraduate degree to help with career progression or graduates who are looking for a postgraduate qualification.

"Studying higher education at UCM is a great option; we have subjects which are in popular demand, we have a high level of academic, learning and pastoral support available to students and our lecturers are experts in their subjects. Additionally, with the cost of living rising, not everyone can afford to study off-Island and this gives them the option of attaining a high-quality degree without the cost of going away."

Julie Edge MHK, Minister for Education Sport and Culture, added: "The forthcoming open evening is the perfect opportunity to discover what’s on offer at University College Isle of Man and embodies the Island Plan's vision for lifelong learning, educational growth and accessibility.

"I invite people of all walks of life to seize the opportunity and discover the diverse range of degree-level courses that are available to empower our students, right here on our island. So, whether you’re at school, college, or a professional, come and join us."
