Travel opportunities

Travel the world, explore new places and give back to the global community while earning credit toward your degree or recognition on your co-curricular record. We offer bursaries and international partnerships that make travelling during your studies as affordable as possible.

Take strides toward independence, form amazing friendships and learn about new cultures all while earning university credit. Watch as Fourth-year student Kennedy talks about her experience studying abroad through the International Student Exchange Program.

International exchange program

Gain cross-cultural experience and earn credit toward your degree by going on an international exchange. UM and its faculties have partnered with 100+ institutions in more than 35 countries to let you spend a semester or two abroad while paying regular tuition to the University of Manitoba, instead of international student rates at partner universities.

Beyond the UM-wide exchange offerings, the Faculty of Architecture, the Faculty of Engineering and the Asper School of Business provide specialized exchange opportunities that are only open to students who are registered in these faculties

Community Engaged Learning

Learn about social justice, volunteer for change and relate your classroom learning to community work through one of the Community Engaged Learning programs in Belize and Northern Manitoba or right here in Winnipeg. You'll learn about the world, yourself and the importance of community while developing relationships and supporting the goals of community organizations.

It’s such an eye-opening experience – living in a different culture and having to adapt to new situations. I made friends from Australia as well as with other exchange students from around the world.
