International Centre
The International Centre is the University of Manitoba’s hub for all things global. Whether you’re a student looking to explore, a faculty member looking for international partners or a researcher hoping to work with us, we’re here to support you.
COVID-19 (coronavirus) update: We understand the current situation is particularly difficult for you. Please reach out for information and support specific to your personal situation through a private, confidential conversation with an international student advisor (ISA) at the International Centre. Due to social distancing directives, until further notice, ISA appointments will take place by email or a pre-scheduled Zoom meeting. Make an appointment by emailing international@umanitoba.ca with your name and student number. Visit the COVID-19 webpage for the latest UM information and updates.
