Favourable situation for those in clearing system
Students whose A level results missed the mark could be in a better position than in recent years - due to a glut of places at UK universities.
It emerged this week there are fewer students overall for an increased number of places - and that could mean those searching for a course in the clearing system are spoilt for choice.
Incentives are also being offered to students by many higher education establishments to ensure places are filled.
Joel Smith is School Improvement Adviser at the Department of Education - he says it's a favourable situation for Manx students:
DHSC looking to 'map clear way forward' over bed shortages
Windowsill warning after sun causes fire
Senior doctors and consultants call for intervention amid 'critical shortfall in bed capacity' at Noble's Hospital
