2026 Student & Undergraduate Survey

Locate Isle of Man, in partnership with the University College Isle of Man (UCM), is pleased to launch the 2026 Student & Undergraduate Survey, following on from its last iteration in 2023.

This survey aims to provide Locate Isle of Man and UCM with a clearer understanding of the study pathways individuals connected to the Isle of Man are pursuing (both on and off‑Island) and the reasons behind these choices. It will gather information on the institutions learners are studying with, the subjects or qualifications they are undertaking, their future aspirations, and the factors that would influence their decision to remain on, or return to, the Isle of Man after completing their studies.

The findings will help support strategic planning across government and support the ongoing work of Locate Isle of Man’s Graduate Ecosystem.

This survey seeks to understand what and where you are studying, why you chose your study route, your future career intentions, and the factors that may influence whether you remain on or return to the Isle of Man after completing your studies, with an optional opportunity to join the Locate Isle of Man Graduate and Young Professional mailing list.

All responses will be analysed and reported in aggregate, with all personal data fully anonymised so that no individual can be identified.

The findings will support ongoing planning and decision‑making across government.

In accordance with the Data Protection (Application of GDPR) Order 2018, anonymised results may be shared with UCM and relevant internal government bodies where this is necessary to inform evidence‑based policy and programme development.
