International Opportunities for University of Manitoba Students

The University of Manitoba believes that a ‘world class education’ will offer students the opportunity to make the world your classroom.  Government, businesses, volunteer agencies and educational institutions all agree that experiencing another country and culture first-hand as part of your university education will better prepare you for entering a global work force.  Listen to what others are saying:

“Experiencing new cultures and learning about new people is an unequivocal opportunity. The learning curve one goes through during travels is beyond what stories or books can teach us.  It is a life-changing opportunity to learn more about the world and, more importantly, about yourself.” Aleksandra Leligdowicz, UM Science student on exchange to Deakin University, Australia

 “Students who go abroad gain valuable skills for succeeding in a global economy—which is a real asset for our own economy.  Canadian business executives rate ‘a cosmopolitan world view’ as one of the top three skills needed by future corporate leaders.” Assoc of Universities & Colleges of Canada

“Being able to adapt to another culture is an important skill for us.  Young people who had the opportunity during their studies to see a different country don’t pretend to know everything.  This helps Canadians to be accepted easily abroad. We have an international competitive advantage in Canada because of our diversity.” Tony Woodward, Senior Vice-President & Treasurer, Scotiabank.
