The courses are currently confined to business subjects but degrees in art, IT, hospitality and engineering are in the pipeline.

It was founded to provide top quality higher education specialising in programmes for business, banking and finance, and management. Degree courses are validated by Liverpool John Moores University.

Two-year diploma courses in hotel and tourism management are offered by the International Hotel School in Port Erin. The majority of their students are from abroad however, including many from Africa and the Far East, and they also have an international first-year campus in the Phillipines.

Financial help is available to Manx students under the age of 35 studying for a first degree, HND or Higher Education diploma. All students can apply for a grant to cover tuition fees but grants covering both fees and living expenses are scaled according to parents' income. Manx students are not eligible for UK Student Loans.
