Admission at a glance
The University of Manitoba admits most new undergraduates into University 1, a common first year that lets students explore courses before formally entering a specific faculty, alongside direct-entry programs in faculties such as Engineering, Science and Management that have their own admission profile from the start. Applicants apply directly to the university rather than through a shared provincial service, and pay a separate non-refundable application fee. Academic admission is based on the applicant's grades in required senior secondary subjects for the chosen entry route. Tuition is billed per credit hour and varies by teaching unit. English proficiency is demonstrated through IELTS, IELTS Indicator, TOEFL iBT, PTE or Duolingo, each valid for two years from the test date and must remain valid at the start of the admission term. At the time of verification, the university's published deadline table for University 1 extended only to the September 2026 intake, without yet showing a September 2027 date, so applicants planning for Fall 2027 should treat the equivalent 2026 date as an approximate guide until the university publishes the following year's schedule.

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.
