People looking to study a full-time course at University College Isle of Man (UCM) starting in September 2023 can apply online now.
UCM opened its online applications for the 2023/24 academic year on Thursday to coincide with the University College’s open evening.
The event saw more than 600 people attend the event to look around the fantastic facilities on offer, explore the campus and find out more about the wide range of courses available.
Visitors enjoyed hands on activities including ‘Try a blow dry’ in the Hair & Beauty Salon, ‘Synnova’, Christmas Cookie Decorating in the Annie Gill Café, ‘Put the nappy on the baby’ competition in the Childcare nursery, ‘Little Explorers’, visual impairment simulation in the Health & Social Care department, circuit making in the Electrical Installation workshop and Virtual Reality in the IT department.
At the end of their visit, those interested in studying a particular area had an opportunity to apply for the course(s) that they were interested in.
UCM Principal (Ms) Jesamine Kelly commented: ‘We’re pleased to have opened for full time applications earlier this year to provide more flexibility and opportunity for people interested in joining us at UCM. We’ve got a fantastic range of courses and some very interesting subjects. We’re pleased to provide both vocational training, for industries such as Construction, Engineering and Hair & Beauty, and more traditionally academic programmes, such as History, Science and IT.
‘Whether you’re a school pupil finishing your GCSEs and thinking about the next step in your journey, or are a mature student looking to return to education, we’re pleased to welcome you to UCM. ‘
UCM’s next open event is specifically for people interested in studying a degree, degree-level or postgraduate programme. The event will be held on 1st December at the Nunnery Campus, 4.30-7pm.
