Welcome to the University of Manitoba - Western Canada's first university. Founded 140 years ago, and located in the heart of the country, we are the region’s largest and only research intensive university offering over 100 academic programs, including professional disciplines such as medicine, law and engineering. Our energetic university community is comprised of close to 30,000 students, over 8,900 faculty and staff, and 138,000 alumni in 137 countries. Over 16 per cent of our current students are international, representing 115 countries.
The University of Manitoba is located on Anishinabe and Metis traditional land and is home to a thriving community of Indigenous researchers, staff and more than 2,000 First Nations, Metis and Inuit students, including over 3,580 graduate students — one of the largest Indigenous student bodies in the country. Our university stimulates over $1.8 billion in economic activity in the province, and we are leaders in Manitoba’s knowledge economy with groundbreaking research in areas such as nanotechnology, functional foods and nutraceuticals, HIV/AIDS, and climate change.
With a strong legacy of excellence to guide us, the University of Manitoba and its dynamic community of researchers, students, teachers and staff, are addressing the challenges facing Canada and the world in the 21st century. The University of Manitoba is a coeducational, nondenominational, government-supported institution. It is a member of the Association of Commonwealth Universities and of the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada.
Informed by input from more than 1,000 faculty, staff, students and alumni, our University's strategic plan helps to guide our decision-making and answers the question "What future are we going to create?". Taking Our Place: University of Manitoba Strategic Plan 2015-2020 is a pledge to pursue five priorities that matter most:
This plan strengthens the University's statement of commitment to Indigenous achievement, and articulates a pledge to pursue relationships and dialogue with First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples based on mutual trust, respect and reciprocity
This past year, the University of Manitoba welcomed 2,400 First Nations, Métis and Inuit students, including more than 200 graduate students. We are home to one of the largest Indigenous student populations in Canada. Our Pathways to Indigenous Achievement plan reflects the life-changing nature of education, benefiting both individuals and communities. At U of M you'll find some of the country's brightest stars in Indigenous research, including Warren Cariou, Canada Research Chair in Narrative, Community and Indigenous Cultures. In 2017, the University celebrated the 28th anniversary of the Annual Graduation Pow Wowhonouring the achievements of over 430 Indigenous graduates.
In 2017-18, eight alumni, two faculty members and the President of the University of Manitoba, Dr. David Barnard, joined the prestigious ranks of the Order of Manitoba (2017, 2018). In addition, ten alumni and one faculty member were named to the Order of Canada, and one of our faculty members, Professor Frank Hawthorne, was promoted to Companion—the Order's highest recognition (2017, 2018)

The new music building (Taché Arts Project) is beautiful and has a good infrastructure, with plenty of practice rooms and great offices for the Faculty. It will be even better when the the phases 2 and 3 are ready and we have a large ensemble rehearsing room and our own auditory next to the building.

Some classes and professors are good. But I doubt that the university actually checks up on their professors. I have one this year who can’t even spell the subject he’s teaching and his teaching assistant has the same issue. Apparently they are both archaeologists but are incapable of spelling it, along with artifact, fossil, removed, etc. Thanks university of Manitoba for education that comes from people who don’t seem to have one. �
