Majority of students secure university places following exam results

Fri, 26 Aug 2022


The majority of the Island’s students who applied for a university course this year received the exam results they needed to secure a place at a university of their choice.

It follows last week’s exam results for level 3 qualifications which include A levels and BTECs.

Minister for Education, Sport and Culture, Julie Edge MHK, congratulated students on their results: “This is a strong set of results for our students with positive outcomes.  They can be rightly proud and it is important that we celebrate their achievement.  
 
“Students sitting exams this year have seen significant disruption to their studies throughout the pandemic.  These results are a testament to their resilience and determination, as well as that of our Island’s dedicated teachers.
 
“I wish those leaving secondary school all the very best for their future whichever path they have chosen. Well done, class of 2022!”

Due to the pandemic, this summer is the first time since 2019 that a full set of external examinations has been run in Manx schools.

Some students who were planning to travel off Island to university in the autumn have deferred for a year to gain some relevant employment experience before taking up their degree studies next year.
