For many youngsters across the Isle of Man, the dreaded results day is just around the corner, which may leave them questioning what’s next.
For those in that position, University College Isle of Man (UCM) is holding an information, advice and guidance event for anyone who has received their exam results.
The event will be held between 10am – 12pm and 2pm – 4pm on September 2 at UCM’s Homefield Road campus.
The purpose of the event is to provide information for young people who have received their exam results and aren’t sure what their next step should be.
Results Day
A-Level students will be first to open their much anticipated results on Thursday (August 15), with GCSE results day being next Thursday on August 22.
UCM’s Principal Jesamine Kelly said: “We know that getting the end of year results can be extremely stressful for students; especially if they receive a different outcome to what they were expecting.
“Whether they have already applied for a place to continue their education or were planning on joining the workforce, receiving their results may change their plans and they may want to explore the different options available to them.”
What’s Next?
Jesamine added: “Our applications team, Student Services, Careers advisor and lecturing staff will be on hand throughout the day to provide information, advice and guidance on what to do next.
“If they have applied for a course at UCM and have different grades to what they expected, we would encourage them to upload their results to the Learner Portal and come along to this event. If they haven’t previously applied to UCM but are now wanting to join us, then this is a great opportunity to find out more.”
This event is open to anyone who has taken GCSEs and are looking at Further Education or people who have finished their A-Levels or Level 3 qualifications and are considering University (Higher Education).
