UCM Students honoured at awards ceremony

More than 100 students at University College Isle of Man (UCM) are celebrating the reward for their hard work after being recognised at the institute's Higher Education Awards ceremony.

Those who completed degree courses, higher level apprenticeships and received professional certification were all handed their honours at the event.

One of Britain's most respected inventors - Dr John C Taylor OBE - was presented with the accolade of becoming a UCM Honarary Fellow.

This year's graduates had an 85 per cent overall pass rate - with 18 of them attaining first class honours.
