University of Manitoba

For more than 140 years, the University of Manitoba has been recognized as Manitoba’s premier university – shaping our leaders, enhancing our community, and conducting world-class research. Our home is Manitoba but our impact is global. The University has a tradition of excellence in research, scholarly work and creative activities. Our connection to the agricultural and natural landscapes of the Canadian Prairie, to the Arctic, to local and Indigenous communities has shaped our research focus. We have made pioneering contributions in many fields and developed life-changing solutions to problems being faced by peoples in Manitoba, Canada and the world.

Research and Learning Environment
The University of Manitoba is the province’s research university: research informs our teaching and teaching informs our research. We provide high-quality liberal arts, science and professional programs that are consistent with our mission and size. Our university equips our undergraduate and graduate students to be locally and globally engaged citizens who understand the importance and contributions of Indigenous peoples in Manitoba and Canada. We are committed to ensuring our students have an outstanding educational experience.

Through projects and collaborative activities around the world, University of Manitoba faculty, staff and students bring international perspectives to learning and research and enrich the overall university experience.
