University College Isle of Man (UCM) will be holding an Applicant Day for degree, degree-level and postgraduate courses on 29th June between 2.30pm – 4.30pm at The Nunnery campus. The event will also be an opportunity for anyone who is undecided to visit UCM.
The event is a chance for people who have already applied to study an undergraduate degree, degree-level or postgraduate course at UCM in September, to visit the Nunnery campus, speak to tutors and network with other people in their cohort.
Those offer holders can attend a mini lecture in their chosen course to meet the academic staff, find out more about the course content, how the course is taught, and ask any questions. Current students will share their experience of studying at UCM and share ‘top tips’ for degree level study and UCM’s support services will introduce applicants to the UCM extensive learning resources, student support services and fees/funding.
Anyone who has applied to study their degree off Island but are now considering staying or unsure about their choices, are also invited to come along to the event.
UCM’s Higher Education Development Manager, Gail Corrin said: “It’s a really exciting, challenging and sometimes scary time for people who are wanting to pursue Higher Education; for many, it’s a big decision to leave the Island, so we wanted to create an event that would be open to both people who had already applied, to help settle any nerves and enable them to meet their peers and future friends, as well as to provide an opportunity for people who are still considering their next step”.
