UCM offering advice to those getting A-Level and GCSE grades
Students who’ve received their A-Level results today (14 August) are being offered support and guidance as they consider their future options.
University College Isle of Man will host a special event on 2 September at the Homefield Road Campus.
It’s also for those people who will collect their GCSE results next week.
The event will be held between 10am – 12pm and 2pm – 4pm with the purpose of providing information for young people who have received their exam results and aren’t sure what their next step should be.
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.
"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.
