Around 500 students have received their A Level, BTEC and other Level 3 qualifications in the Isle of Man today (August 17).

This year the overall Level 3 pass rate (A Level grades A*-E or equivalent) was 97%, with 41% having passes at higher grade (A Level grades A*-B or equivalent). According to the data the pass rate at A Level grades A*-C (or equivalent) was 67%.

Meanwhile the overall pass rate at University College Isle of Man (UCM) was 97%. Students at UCM who achieved Distinction grades for Level 3 BTEC was 44%.

Early indications show that around two-thirds of Island students receiving Level 3 qualifications intend to further their education by enrolling on degree courses at UCM or off-Island Universities.

The Department of Education, Sport and Culture suggests that “the trend of increasing numbers of 18-year-old education leavers opting for full time employment on completion of their Level 3 studies is expected to continue this year”.
