Founded in 1877 as Western Canada’s first university, the University of Manitoba is located in Winnipeg, the capital of the Canadian province of Manitoba. It is a research-intensive public university.
The university serves nearly 30,000 students and around 15 per cent of the student body is made up of international students from 111 countries worldwide.
It offers a large study abroad programme where students can choose from 36 countries to take part in service-learning, internships, or exchange programmes.
The university also boasts one of the largest indigenous student populations in Canada, annually enrolling over 2,000 First Nations, Métis and Inuit students.
Manitoba offers more than 100 degree programmes and most of its academic departments include graduate study programmes.
