“I found the Project Management Program a perfect match for me because of the low student to instructor ratio that allowed one to one interaction with industry experienced instructors. There was also unbelievable student diversity in terms of culture, educational background, and industry experience. This program delivered beyond my expectations and I am thankful to all PACE staff for making a yearlong journey, more comfortable and enjoyable.”

“Students benefit from being taught in a research environment where staff shares expertise and special facilities. The University of Winnipeg sets high standards for teaching quality and provides professional training opportunities for all their lecturers. I have had good experiences in Winnipeg since I started my program. Nowadays, I feel that I live in my home town.”

“My experience as an international student has been incredibly stimulating, enriching and rewarding. Not only did the program have the best mix of courses, it also provided hands-on practical knowledge. Thanks to the brilliant and highly experienced instructors from the field along with very supportive staff, I could excel and avail the opportunity to get a $2,000 scholarship. The internship at the end of the program ended up with me getting hired at the same company. All along it’s been an amazing journey!“
