'It's becoming more viable'
University College Isle of Man is becoming an increasingly viable option for Manx people, including young adults, instead of moving abroad for further education.
That's the view of Dr Catriona Mackie, who is the Programme Leader of the BA course in History and Heritage at UCM, credited by the University of Chester.
As someone who lived at home whilst she studied, before moving from home later on, Dr Mackie thinks there are lots of advantages in doing so:
Government engaging with UK over international ferry levy plans
Isle of Man won't be affected by July 2026 changes to domestic voyages
Bottleneck car park shut over safety concerns
Council cites increased risk of storm surges as winds shift overnight
Forecasters warn of snow over higher ground later
Higher routes such as Mountain Road could be affected by slight accumulations
Dementia demand assessment underway as Public Health forecasting future need
Figures suggest Island prevalence of 0.7 percent, as government acknowledges demand likely to rise due to aging population
