The public will have the opportunity to explore University College Isle of Man at its open evening next month.

On the evening of November 20, people can explore the wide variety of courses available at UCM, and take a look around the learning environments and facilities.

Academic staff from all departments will be available to talk through the different study options, including:

  • School Links programmes for students aged 14–16;
  • 16+ (Further Education) courses for post-GCSE learners and adults looking to retrain;
  • Apprenticeships that combine earning with learning;
  • University Centre (Higher Education) including undergraduate, nursing and postgraduate degrees;
  • Adult Learning for personal (Just for Fun) or professional development (Upskilling).

Open Evening

Jesamine Kelly, UCM Principal, said: “Our Open Evening is a brilliant chance for anyone thinking about their next steps to see what UCM has to offer.

“Whether you’re a school leaver, someone looking to upskill, or just curious about our expanding course options, we’d love you to pop in and explore our Campus.”

Visitors will also be able to speak with the Student Services and Admissions teams for advice and guidance, and the Student Awards team will be on hand to discuss funding and financial support.

For those with additional learning needs, the Access to Education team will be available to explain the support available to ensure every learner can thrive.

Anyone interested in Engineering or Motor Vehicle studies will have the chance to tour the William Kennish building, located close to the Homefield Road Campus, which features factory-standard equipment and a fully functioning vehicle workshop.

There will also be interactive activities throughout the evening to give visitors a taste of life at UCM.
