Learning and working aren’t mutually exclusive. A number of University of Manitoba programs offer cooperative or internship programs where you can rotate between classroom time and paid work experience early in the second or third year of your academic program. Students in these programs network with practitioners, gain practical experience, and work with mentors who can assist students in finding full-time employment after graduation. Cooperative and/or internship programs are available in: • Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences • Faculty of Engineering • Clayton H. Riddell Faculty of Environment, Earth, and Resources • Faculty of Science • Asper School of Business Brigitte Bruneau’s eight-month co-op experience in Dr. Francis Plummer’s renowned HIV-AIDS lab at the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg led her to become the only Canadian chosen for an international summer internship at the Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology working on neural stem cell research. Brigitte is now working under Dr. Duckworth in the Department of Chemistry as she completes her bachelors degree.
“My first two co-op work term placements were with Cangene Corporation in the Smartpark on the U of M campus. I had the opportunity to interact with the President and CEO, Directors and Managers, as well as employees in many different departments. I can already see the positive influence that this experience is having on my in-class work and participation. I actually KNOW what the professors are talking about, and am able to apply various theories I’m learning to the work I did during my co-op work term”.
By attracting leaders in a variety of fields, the University of Manitoba is at the forefront of important scientific research. Like you, our researchers are part of the University of Manitoba’s community of learning and knowledge, working in their own fields and across disciplines to find innovative solutions to challenges in the environment, health, technology and society. Undergrads at the University of Manitoba have the opportunity to learn from, even to work with, real-life innovators who are making a difference in the world today. How do modern Zulu potters in South Africa express their ethnic identity through pottery making? Emma Middleton, in her fourth year of an Advanced Anthropology degree, is trying to find out. Supervised by Dr. Kent Fowler in Anthropology and Dr. Mostafa Fayek in Geology, she is doing fieldwork this summer to investigate the learning networks that influence potters’ choices about clay sources and processing techniques.

After winning the Gold Medal at Collège universitaire de Saint-Boniface, Erin Knight (Biochemistry Honours) chose the University of Manitoba for a second undergraduate degree to gain research experience. She spent eight months working on HIV-AIDS research in the lab of Dr. Francis Plummer, taking a poster on her project to the national AIDS conference and becoming a co-author on a paper recently published in the journal AIDS.

Our faculty is as diverse as our student body. Inside and outside the classroom, professors at the University of Manitoba strive to share their knowledge and passion for everything from music and engineering to debating and problem-solving. Some will challenge you, some will inspire you, some will make you laugh, but they all have the same goal in mind: to share their love of learning and discovery. A soloist, recitalist, adjudicator, chamber and orchestral musician, Allen Harrington is the youngest faculty member in the Faculty of Music. His passion for music, his personable teaching style, and his credibility as a musician make him a favourite amongst his students. “I really believe in a ‘tailor made’ approach to each student. I see how every student is different in their ability, personality, musicianship, etc., and I try hard to come up with a unique approach that will challenge, motivate, and ultimately allow that student

Katrina is pursuing an honours degree in environmental science with a focus on biodiversity and conservation. Can your impression of your dating partner’s self-esteem influence your overall satisfaction with the relationship? Larisa Cornelius’ honours thesis explored just that, and under the mentorship of Dr. Jessica Cameron, she found that people with higher self esteem experience an increase in relationship quality, while those with lower self-esteem do not. Larisa received the Canadian Psychological Association Certificate of Excellence for her work.

to become the best musician and player of their instrument that they can be.” Dr. Doug Buchanan is a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering who brings an empowering attitude, an open door policy and real-life experiences to his classroom. He says his focus as a professor is to keep students on the road and point them in the right direction, but that they’re the ones who ultimately have to apply the gas. “I was lucky. I wasn’t the best undergrad student but for some reason a professor saw something worthwhile in me and it was because of his influence that I got a job with IBM right out of university. After sixteen years in New York he was one of the main reasons why I came back. I wanted to give back and provide students with the same support. Most importantly, I don’t require students to memorize but I do require them to think.”

Our Students “When I started university I wasn’t sure what direction I was going in. University 1 gave me the opportunity to explore many different Ben Plamondon options so I could make an informed decision. The staff in the U1 Help Centre were very inviting and friendly and made sure I had the answers to my questions.” - Ben Plamondon, current U1 student
“University 1 gave me the support I needed in my transition from high school to university. I found that the University 1 Help Centre had a Judy Jayasuriya wealth of information.

It was reassuring to know that there was always someone there when I needed help. “ - Judy Jayasuriya, former U1 student
University 1 is a unique approach to first-year university, creating a solid foundation for student success. About University 1
Special Programs
The University of Manitoba is the first university in Canada to build a specific program for first-year students. The goal of University 1 (U1) is to help ensure their success. We know that students do better when they can explore several degree options with no penalty and when friendly advisors are there for support. Most of the degree programs at the University of Manitoba begin with U1. The courses you take in U1 count as part of your degree, regardless of which program you ultimately choose. This means you can finish your degree in the same amount of time as you would at any other university; it does not add an additional year to your degree. In U1, you can explore different areas of interest, choosing from over 200 courses from 13 different faculties and schools. You have an opportunity to find a program that fits you. This wide array of choice is one of the things that sets first year at the University of Manitoba apart from all other Canadian universities. While in U1, you will also benefit from the additional supports designed to ensure that you are well-prepared to continue with your studies.

Many people think that the University of Manitoba is a really big school, but for me, my experience was that once I got into a specific discipline, it became quite small. People really got to know you.” - Akosua Matthews, (B.A. Honours 2006, Philosophy Gold Medal Winner) was awarded a 2008 Rhodes scholarship at Oxford University.

“I met lots of people from different corners of the world and interacting with them gave me a wide exposure to various cultures and lifestyles. Living in residence ... We learned to share and respect each other’s cultural and religious beliefs.”
“I chose the U of M because of “Friendly Manitoba” – I got this job because I have been volunteering since second year and got to know what employers look for in students and how to network way before graduation.”

Career Counselling - Individual one-onone career counselling sessions with a professional career counsellor and Career Planning Workshops – the starting point for most students seeking career planning help. A Career Planning Workshop is an interactive program that focuses on student self-assessment, career decision-making strategies and success planning. These workshops are held throughout the year with a new session starting each week during the regular academic year. Career Inventories – Career Inventories or “testing” can help you identify dozens of occupational options as well as a better understanding of your career needs. Career Services offers two career inventories, The Strong Interest Inventory (SII) and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). The SII focuses on interests while the MBTI focuses on personality factors. Each will identify occupational options for your consideration. Career Mentor Program - Hundreds of mentors, many of them University of Manitoba alumni, are eager to meet with students for informational interviews and workplace tours. Students have the opportunity to learn more about occupations, explore industry sectors and identify potential future employers. Career Mentors share advice, personal experiences and provide realistic overviews of their professions. The program requires only a small commitment of time, but can have a substantial impact on career plans and success. Each student attends a short orientation session to help them prepare for the meeting. Applications can be filled out at 474 University Centre. A nominal, onetime fee applies.

PROFILES Daniel Routhier (B.Env.St Honours Co-op; 4th year) is currently working with the Canadian Wildlife Service to monitor waterfowl populations in the prairie provinces and Arctic regions. Daniel is planning a career in wildlife management and through Steve Melnyk Daniel Routhier this placement has gained insight not only in the area of field research but also how this information is used by federal and provincial agencies to develop and adapt policy to ever-changing environmental conditions. Jennifer Enns (Microbiology Major) got her first taste of research while assisting a PhD student studying wastewater treatment in environmental engineering. Once she entered the co-op program, she was able to get research experience more directly related to her field of interest, medical research. In the Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics, under Dr. Fiona Parkinson and Dr. Donald Miller, she did research on the blood brain barrier performing a variety of techniques on sections of human and rat brains. She then went to the St. Boniface Hospital Research Centre where she worked under Dr. Karmin O, Department of Animal Sciences, on lipid metabolism and cholesterol in the liver.
Applying classroom-based theory to real-life situations on the job. Our Cooperative and Internship Programs allow students to rotate between classroom time and paid work experience. The rotations are usually four months in duration and start after second or third year. Co-op students network with practitioners early in their academic program to find mentors and practitioners who can assist in their development through co-op placements and help them secure full-time, permanent employment upon graduation. Conversely, internships last for a period of between 12 and 16 months and are usually taken after the third year of studies. Cooperative and/or internship programs are available in: Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences (degree and diploma programs) Faculty of Engineering (Biosystems, Civil, Computer, Electrical, Manufacturing, Mechanical) Clayton H. Riddell Faculty of Environment, Earth, and Resource (Environmental Science, Environmental Studies, Physical Geography) Faculty of Science (Biochemistry, Chemistry, Computer Science, Ecology, Genetics, Microbiology, Zoology) Asper School of Business
- Lillian Maranan, Faculty of Science grad
“ While working over the summer I was able to put the skills and knowledge acquired throughout my courses into practice. I was able to attend various seminars gaining knowledge that I am now using in my current courses and am sure I will continue to use this knowledge throughout my career. I gained “real world” experience and have developed not only intellectually but interpersonally. The experience was excellent for all parties involved and I have been hired back part-time for the fall and winter. Having the co-op education program has started me on the right path to reach my educational and career goals. I will forever be grateful.” - Natasha Landega Degree, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada/ Canadian Grain Commission,Winnipeg, MB

“Because of the hands-on training in the labs, the work terms have made my academic work seem more worthwhile. I am able to apply what I learn in the classroom to my work in the laboratory, and vice versa. I give credit to the co-op program in helping me realize my potential in the field of scientific research. Because there is a great deal of competition in the research field, the co-op program has Lillian Maranan given me a significant advantage—I have the ‘edge’ that I need to get ahead.”
Between her studies and competing/coaching archery at the national level, Avril Hatherell gained her first research experience working for Dr. Peter Zahradka in his Molecular Physiology Lab at the St. Boniface Hospital Research Centre. Through her co-op placements she is now using her molecular and genetics lab skills under Dr. Dana Schroeder, Deptartment of Biological Sciences.

Apply for a Study Permit In order to study in Canada, all international students are required to obtain a study permit. Students are responsible for all aspects of their application and for ensuring that they comply with the conditions of their study permit. For students arriving from the USA: Study permits can be issued at any Canadian port of entry when the following documents are provided: identification, proof of sufficient funds, and a Certificate of Acceptance from the University of Manitoba. IMPORTANT: For international students arriving from countries other than the USA: Depending on the country, you may be required to apply for, and produce an approved Temporary Resident Visa before a study permit can be issued. For more information, consult: www.cic.gc.ca/ENGLISH/visit/visas.asp Individuals with visitor visas are responsible for contacting Citizen and Immigration Canada (CIC) to change their visa to a study permit. International students already studying at an institution in Canada must also contact CIC to renew the terms and conditions of their study permit. Details for obtaining a study permit are available at www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/index.asp
Once you have applied, what’s next? The next steps will be similar to those outlined on the previous page. Please note, international students are required to pay an International Differential Fee of 180% based on the total tuition fees for Canadian/Permanent Residents and an application fee of $110.00 for all direct entry and advanced entry programs (see page 61). Under the Manitoba/Minnesota Reciprocity Agreement, residents of Minnesota, USA, are exempt from this surcharge and will be permitted to pay the same fees as Canadian Citizens/Permanent residents for application and tuition. These students must complete the following form with appropriate documentation: umanitoba.ca/student/admissions/media/ reciprocity_form.pdf

What is my Student Type? umanitoba.ca/admissions/requirements
High School Students Students applying to the University of Manitoba based on high school courses are considered high school applicants. Direct Entry programs are the only programs available to high school applicants.
Mature Status Students Mature student status is meant only for students who do not meet their high school or transfer student requirements. You can apply as a mature status student if you meet the following conditions: • • • •
you do NOT meet the high school requirements you are at least 21 years of age you are a Canadian Citizen or a Permanent Resident you have never previously attended university or college OR have completed less than 24 credit hours (four full courses) As a mature status student, you may apply to any one of the Direct Entry programs (except for the School of Art degree program). If you are interested in one of our Advanced Entry programs, please apply to University 1 to complete the required first year courses. 1. It is recommended that mature status student applicants submit any previous Grade 12 transcripts that may include specific subjects in math, biology, chemistry, and physics; otherwise, upgrading may be required in these areas. 2. Mature status students must also fulfill any required performance requirements that may be required such as the Fine Arts portfolio. 3. Mature applicants to Engineering require a minimum of 60% in each of Pre-Calculus Mathematics 40S, Chemistry 40S and Physics 40S (or the equivalent from other provinces/countries or previous upgrading in these areas) plus a minimum 85% average over these three subjects.
Special Students You may apply as a special student if you wish to enrol in degree credit courses, but are not interested in pursuing a degree. Courses completed may subsequently be accepted as credit towards a degree, diploma or certificate. Special Students usually enter General Studies (Extended Education).
Visiting Students Students registered at another post-secondary institution who would like to complete courses at the University of Manitoba and have the credits transferred to their home institution will be considered as visiting students. Most visiting students apply to General Studies (Extended Education). A Letter of Permission from the home institution listing the specific course(s) is required.
Auditing Students If you wish to attend lectures for a particular course but do not want to complete the assignments or write the exams and, therefore, not receive a grade or any credit hours upon completion of the course, you can apply for admission as an auditing student. Auditing students should apply to General 49
Studies (Extended Education) for admission. Auditing students will be charged one half of the course fee. Written permission is required from the course instructor prior to application.
Readmission, Continuing and Returning Students All students who were admitted and who did not follow through with registration must apply to the Admissions Office for readmission. Former students who have attended other institutions since their last registration at the University of Manitoba must apply to the Admissions Office for readmission, unless the other institution was attended on a Letter of Permission.
Transfer Students Students who are in good academic standing and have completed a minimum of 24 equivalent credit hours (four full-year courses) at a prior university or college recognized by the University of Manitoba will be considered as transfer students. Students with less than 24 equivalent credit hours will still be assessed for advanced standing or transfer credit, but will be considered for admission as a high school student or mature status student. Students may receive up to two years or 60 credit hours (10 full-year courses) of transfer credit, depending on the faculty of admission and their regulations regarding advanced standing and/or transfer credit. Most faculties restrict transfer credit to coursework completed within the last ten years. All transfer students should review program requirements prior to application and compare previous university-level work with the admission requirements listed in the program application package, umanitoba.ca/applynow or in the General Calendar, umanitoba.ca/calendar.
Advanced Standing and Transfer Credit Evaluation The evaluation of prior coursework to fulfill admission requirements or advanced standing/transfer credit is part of the application for admission process. Courses are evaluated on a course by course basis by the appropriate teaching unit on campus. Detailed course outlines should be submitted for all previously attempted university or college coursework. These outlines, as issued by your prior institution, are subject to verification. If the course information is from an online source, please ensure the web address is also included. Course information should include the following: • a statement of the course objectives • an outline of the units studied in the course • name of textbook(s) and/or bibliographies used • length of course and/or credit hours • information should also be included for any lab component of a course To accelerate the external course assessment process, especially for students studying outside the province or country, the submission of detailed course outlines/syllabi at the point of application is recommended. Course material sent separate from the application should include your University of Manitoba applicant or student number and faculty of application. Since educational systems vary from country to country, some international students will require a year or more of equivalent university coursework to enter a Direct Entry program. International applicants should review the list of general requirements by country to determine if the university work completed is considered as the basis of admission or if completion of high school is sufficient. Details are available at umanitoba.ca/student/admissions/international.
Undergraduate Programs umanitoba.ca/admissions/programs Admission to undergraduate programs is divided into two categories: Direct Entry and Advanced Entry.
DIRECT ENTRY (apply from high school) Students entering directly from high school (or equivalent) chose a “Direct Entry� faculty. With the exception of University 1, these programs are also open to students transferring from other faculties, universities or colleges. University 1 will only consider transferring students who have completed less than 24 hours of coursework. In some cases, a person can apply as a mature status student without high school graduation (see page 49). For most students, studies at the University of Manitoba will begin in University 1. Below is a list of direct entry programs: University 1
Faculties Requiring Two or More Years of University Study Dentistry, Law, and the Education/Music integrated program require two years of pre-professional studies to qualify for admission. Education and Medicine require a completed degree before entry. Like the post-University 1 programs, the following faculties will have academic and non-academic requirements and will use a selection process to choose the best qualified students: Dentistry
Law
Education (After Degree Program) Medicine
Agriculture Diploma
Music Integrated Program
Engineering
For application information on Advanced Entry certificate, diploma, and other programs, refer to page 60.
Fine Arts (diploma and studio degree programs) General Studies (Extended Education)
Citizenship and Residency Program Requirements
Marcel A. Desautels Faculty of Music
The University of Manitoba welcomes international and out-of-province students and recognizes the value of a diverse student population. However, as a provincial university, its first responsibility is the provision of education for residents of the Province of Manitoba who are Canadian Citizens/ Permanent Residents; therefore, admission of international or out-of-province students to some faculties/schools may be limited.
Advanced Entry (apply after University 1) Every program that admits from University 1 (or with the equivalent amount of work completed in another faculty or at another university) will have certain criteria that must be met to be considered for admission. These criteria are described in full in the Applicant Information Bulletins which are available from the Admissions Office website at umanitoba.ca/applynow (the University 1 StartBook, umanitoba.ca/U1/startbook, provides a general overview of the criteria but students should also reference the Bulletins for complete details). They may include academic criteria (e.g., certain minimum number of courses that must be completed, specific required courses, minimum grades in specific courses, minimum overall or adjusted averages, etc.) or non-academic criteria (e.g., references, an interview, relevant background information, etc.). When it is not possible to offer admission to all eligible applicants, the faculty will have a selection or admissions committee which will choose the best qualified students, using a process that is described in the Applicant Information Bulletin. Below is a list of Direct Entry programs: Agricultural and Food Sciences Fine Arts (Art History) Human Ecology Arts Kinesiology and Architecture Recreation Management (Environmental Design) Medical Rehabilitation Asper School of Business Nursing Clayton H. Riddell Faculty of Environment, Earth, Pharmacy and Resources Science Dental Hygiene Social Work Engineering
OPEN - All qualified applicants including international and out-of-province students will be considered for the following programs: Agricultural and Food Sciences, Arts, General Studies (Extended Education), Clayton H. Riddell Faculty of Environment, Earth, and Resources, Science, and University 1. LIMITED - The following programs have limited student quotas and some have specific limitations with respect to international students. As such, the best qualified appropriate applicants from the applicant pool will be admitted: Architecture, Asper School of Business, Education, Engineering, Fine Arts, Human Ecology, Kinesiology and Recreation Management, Law, Marcel A. Desautels Faculty of Music, Nursing, and Social Work. RESIDENT PRIORITY - No international students are considered for Dental Hygiene, Dentistry1, Medical Rehabilitation, Medicine, and Pharmacy. Priority for Dentistry, Medical Rehabilitation, Medicine and Pharmacy is given to Canadian Citizens/Permanent Residents who are residents of Manitoba2 or who have completed prerequisite coursework in Manitoba. Preference may be given to residents of Manitoba for positions in Dental Hygiene. 1
Consideration is given to graduates of an international dentist program applying to the International Dentist Degree Program.
