Scholarships
International Student entrance scholarships are available for qualifying applicants based on academic achievement — the university awards roughly $3.5 million in entrance scholarships to new students annually, with most requiring no separate application.
Two Campuses, Two Different Strengths
Manitoba's academic strength splits across two distinct campuses. The Bannatyne Campus is the hub for medical and dental education specifically, connected to major Manitoban health research institutions and home to some of the university's top-ranked programs in nursing, pharmacy, and medicine. The Fort Garry Campus is the larger main campus, housing four colleges, research facilities, and most undergraduate programs — over 1,350 students live on campus there each year. For applicants targeting a health sciences field specifically, the Bannatyne connection is a genuine practical advantage worth factoring into a program choice.
Visa & Post-Study Work Pathway
Manitoba graduates are eligible for the PGWP, and the Manitoba PNP has historically been one of Canada's more accessible provincial nomination streams for international graduates with local work experience.
