Empowering Future Leaders Through Innovative Education
Why Choose University of Manitoba (UM)?
Exclusive Provider for Key Professional Fields in Manitoba
The University of Manitoba is the only institution in the province that trains professionals in fields such as law, engineering, architecture, actuarial science and many healthcare disciplines. This makes it the primary pathway into regulated professions in Manitoba, supported by its U15 membership, which reflects strong research capacity and academic infrastructure.
Strong, Measurable Graduate Employment Outcomes
Graduate outcomes are backed by clear data, particularly from the Asper School of Business. In 2024, 95% of BComm co-op graduates secured full-time employment within three months, with an average salary of C$61,814, while MBA graduates reported 91% employment and an average salary of C$97,381. Employers include major organisations such as Deloitte, PwC, RBC and Manitoba Hydro, indicating strong industry connections.
Lower Tuition Compared to Other U15 Universities
The University of Manitoba offers the lowest tuition among U15 universities in western Canada, with international undergraduate fees ranging from approximately C$20,400 to C$29,700 depending on the programme. Combined with Winnipeg’s lower cost of living and a C$462 annual transit pass for unlimited travel, this makes it a more affordable option compared to cities like Toronto or Vancouver.
Recognised Rankings and Academic Strength
The university is ranked #6 in Canada and #136 globally in TIME’s 2026 rankings, and #13 in Canada in the Medical Doctoral category by Maclean’s. It also performs well in subject rankings such as engineering, economics and agribusiness, reflecting its strength across multiple academic disciplines.
Housing Guarantee and Significant Financial Support
Students aged 17–24 who apply for residence by the deadline are guaranteed on-campus housing, which is uncommon among large Canadian universities. In addition, the university distributes over C$40 million annually in scholarships and bursaries, with around 1,600 students receiving entrance scholarships each year.
