UCM has 112 undergraduates; about 350 go abroad
New and returning university-goers from the Isle of Man haven't been put off by Covid-19 restrictions, according to the Manx Students' Union.

Meanwhile, more than a hundred students are starting higher education at University College Isle of Man, according to the education minister.
Dr Alex Allinson was appearing alongside Miss Woolley:
