University of Manitoba
Overview
The University of Manitoba is the province’s largest university, with over twenty faculties for you to explore. But it’s not just about size and scale – it’s about options. The U of M offers more academic programs, support for students, campus services, scholarships and bursaries than any other post secondary institution in the province. And that means more opportunities to turn a great education into an amazing career.
As a student, you’ll also benefit from real life innovators in the classroom, more undergrad research opportunities, and more chances to meet, learn from, and become one of tomorrow’s leaders.
First Nations, Metis and Inuit students thrive at the University of Manitoba where we have a strong and dynamic community of Indigenous students and faculty, outstanding programming, and a stunning new facility that is the heart of our Indigenous community, Migizii Agamik.
What is Conditional Admission to degree study?
It means that you can be accepted to the University of Manitoba (U of M) at the undergraduate level, under the condition that you meet the University’s English language proficiency requirements through the English for Academic Purposes (EAP) programs. These programs are supported by the ELC.
Students who choose this route agree to three (3) consecutive terms of study in order to retain their conditional acceptance to the U of M.
Conditional Admission is a popular choice because after completing your ELC studies, students will have met the University of Manitoba’s English requirements. A conditional letter of acceptance is also preferred by Canada’’s embassy in order to receive a study visa.
What is Admission to Academic English only?
It is for students who wish to improve their English skills in an academic environment without planning to attend the University of Manitoba afterwards. This method is also ideal for students who plan on completing a Graduate Studies program at the University of Manitoba but have not yet met the English Proficiency requirements.
While studying with the English Language Centre, students studying Academic English only can choose to apply to the University of Manitoba afterwards.
