Requirements

Bachelor

Admission is based on the applicant's grades in required senior secondary subjects; University 1 is the common first-year entry point for students who have not chosen a direct-entry faculty such as Engineering, Science or Management. There is no single published minimum average across all entry routes.

Graduate

Set by the individual graduate program; applicants should confirm requirements, references and, for research programs, a supervisor, on the specific program's page.

Documents

Official transcripts in required senior secondary subjects; English proficiency test results unless exempt; the non-refundable application fee.

How to apply

  1. Confirm whether your intended program is direct entry or part of University 1, and its required courses.
  2. Apply directly online to the University of Manitoba and pay the CAD 130 international application fee.
  3. Arrange transcripts and English test scores to reach the university.
  4. Track your application and respond to document requests through the university's applicant portal.
  5. Accept an offer of admission once received.
  6. Apply for a study permit.

English test waiver

TOEFL iBT scores from tests taken on or after 21 January 2026 use a new 1 to 6 scale; the University of Manitoba's minimum on that scale is 4.5 overall.
