Welcome to the University of Manitoba - western Canada's first university. Founded more than 130 years ago, and located in the heart of the country, we are the region’s largest and only research intensive university offering over 90 degrees, diplomas, and certificates – more than 60 at the undergraduate level including professional disciplines such as medicine, law, and engineering.

Our energetic university community is comprised of over 26,000 students, 8,000 faculty and staff, and 180,000 alumni. Nearly 8 per cent of our current students are international, representing close to 100 countries.

Home to a thriving community of Indigenous researchers, staff and over 1,900 self-declared Aboriginal (First Nations, Metis and Inuit) students, the University of Manitoba is located on Anishabbe and Metis traditional land.

Our university stimulates over $1.8 billion in economic activity in the province, and we are leaders in Manitoba’s knowledge economy with groundbreaking research in areas such as nanotechnology, functional foods and nutraceuticals, HIV/AIDS, and climate change.

With a strong legacy of excellence to guide us, the University of Manitoba and its dynamic community of researchers, students, teachers and staff, are addressing the challenges facing Canada and the world in the 21st century.

The University of Manitoba is a coeducational, nondenominational, government-supported institution. It is a member of the Association of Commonwealth Universities and of the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada.
