EXPLORERI AM AN
Through the University of Manitoba, I’ve been able to travel the globe as an exchange student and open my mind to new cultures and experiences. I explore our world through the lens of my camera, and in doing so, I have started to discover who I really am. When I won the university’s Define Your Future video contest, it strengthened my confidence. I’ve selected an arctic adventure for my prize, and this fall I will travel to Greenland to work alongside university researchers. It will be an experience to remember.

By seizing some of the many opportunities available to students at the University of Manitoba, I have been able to forge new paths in my field of study.

This was a remarkable experience that I hadn’t imagined possible. When you are open to new adventures, you can arrive at exciting destinations.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS: CANADIAN APPLICANTS
Direct Entry Admission RequirementsThese requirements apply to current high school students from other provinces or students who have already graduated from high school in another province but who have completed less than 24 credit hours (four full courses) at an accredited university/college. Some direct entry program options may not consider applications from candidates who have completed any university or college courses after high school graduation. Every direct entry program option requires students to meet both the general university entrance requirements as well as program-specific admissions requirements. All of the direct entry program options are open to Canadian students applying from outside of Manitoba.
Advanced Entry Admission RequirementsStudents must present at least 24 credit hours of university level credit to apply to an advanced entry program option; however the specific requirements for each option will vary. Some programs will give Manitoba residents priority within their admissions process. A full listing of the admissions policies for each advanced entry program option including residency requirements, may be found at umanitoba.ca/admissions.
Program Specific Admission RequirementsApplicants from outside of Manitoba will be required to present equivalent courses to those required of Manitoba high school graduates listed on pages 54-55. Competitive averages may be required for some direct entry program options.
High School PrerequisitesPrograms may require students to present high school course prerequisites over and above the courses required for admission. Students may apply and be accepted into a program without the prerequisite courses, but they will need to either complete the prerequisite, a provincial equivalent, or a preparatory upgrading course in its place once in the program. The prerequisite requirements must be completed before students will be allowed to register in specific courses that require the prerequisites.
