The government wants to create a partnership with a university to help deliver higher education on Island.

It wants to hear from insitutions which would be willing to enter into an arrangement to provide the services through University College Isle of Man (UCM) for the Department of Education, Sport & Culture.

Officials say they're looking to work with a partner which share the values of quality provision and 'puts students at the centre of all they do'.

Expressions of interest are now being invited for the proposal which can be accessed on the government portal until Noon on Friday, October 11.
