The Isle of Man International Business School is located in the
Nunnery mansion estate, close to the island's capital
Douglas. It is possible to rent affordable accommodation locally, comparable to the southeast of the
United Kingdom, outside
London. The school is part of the Isle of Man's
Higher Education Centre, offering a supportive and resource-rich environment for its approximately 300 full-time and part-time
students. Although most students are local, the school also attracts a growing number of international students. The International Business School benefits from the broader facilities of the Higher Education Centre, including a main campus equipped with over 300
computer terminals and a
library housing more than 25,000 items relevant to its academic programmes. Within the school itself, students have access to two dedicated computer suites, campus-wide
broadband and
Wi-Fi, and comprehensive online access to
academic journals and
papers. The library includes all core textbooks as well as recommended additional reading materials. Admission to
business degree programmes at the Isle of Man International Business School typically requires a minimum of 240
UCAS points, with at least 160 from
A-levels. However, applications are assessed on a case-by-case basis, and interviews are often part of the admissions process. All applicants must possess relevant A-levels or equivalent qualifications to be considered. Students receive close academic support through a strong personal
tutor system and small class sizes, which are taught by highly qualified and experienced
lecturers. In 2010, 25% of
undergraduate students graduated with
first-class honours. The school also offers modern lecture theatres, well-equipped teaching rooms, and study spaces, and its catering facilities include services from an award-winning French chef. All degree courses are validated by
Liverpool John Moores University or the
University of Chester. ==Research==
