Profil

The University of Manitoba offers a diverse range of programs, including a full complement of professional programs. It offers master’s and doctoral programs and opportunities for postdoctoral education in many disciplines. The university has special access programs for those who do not have the background required for university entrance. The continuing education division offers a large variety of professional and certificate programs.

Most students complete the first year of their degree programs in University 1, a unique approach to first-year university, creating a solid foundation for student success. U1 is a program that allows students to take the specific courses required for one or more faculties and schools, while at the same time ensuring there is good exposure to courses in several disciplines or professions.

A research-intensive university, the University of Manitoba is home to 40 research centres, institutes and shared facilities that foster collaborative research and scholarship including applied ethics, aging, cell biology, transportation, health policy, earth observation science and theoretical physics. These centres and institutes provide unique interdisciplinary educational and training
opportunities and are a valuable resource for the community at large. The Technology Transfer Office (TTO) is one of Canada’s most production intellectual asset programs generating royalty income equal to 1.3 percent of the university’s research base.

The University of Manitoba’s main Fort Garry campus is nestled by the Red River, about 12 km from downtown Winnipeg. The faculties of medicine, dentistry and pharmacy, as well as the schools of medical rehabilitation and dental hygiene, are all located on the Bannatyne campus in central Winnipeg, adjacent to the Health Sciences Centre, the province’s largest tertiary care complex. Satellite locations are situated in other parts of the city as well as in rural Manitoba.
