By attracting leaders in a variety of fi elds, the University of Manitoba is at the forefront of important scientifi c research. Like you, our researchers are part of the University of Manitoba’s community of learning and knowledge, working in their own fi elds and across disciplines to fi nd innovative solutions to challenges in the environment, health, technology and society. Undergrads at the University of Manitoba have the opportunity to learn from, even to work with, real-life innovators who are making a diff erence in the world today.

How do modern Zulu potters in South Africa express their ethnic identity through pottery making? Emma Middleton, in her fourth year of an Advanced Anthropology degree, is trying to fi nd out. Supervised by Dr. Kent Fowler in Anthropology and Dr. Mostafa Fayek in Geology, she is doing fi eldwork this summer to investigate the learning networks that infl uence potters’ choices about clay sources and processing techniques.

Learning and working aren’t mutually exclusive. A number of University of Manitoba programs off er cooperative or internship programs where you can rotate between classroom time and paid work experience early in the second or third year of your academic program. Students in these programs network with practitioners, gain practical experience, and work with mentors who can assist students in fi nding full-time employment after graduation. Cooperative and/or internship programs are available in:

• Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences• Faculty of Engineering• Clayton H. Riddell Faculty of Environment, Earth,

and Resources• Faculty of Science• Asper School of Business

Brigitte Bruneau’s eight-month co-op experience in Dr. Francis Plummer’s renowned HIV-AIDS lab at the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg led her to become the only Canadian chosen for an international summer internship at the Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology working on neural stem cell research. Brigitte is now working under Dr. Duckworth in the Department of Chemistry as she completes her bachelors degree.

“My fi rst two co-op work term placements were with Cangene Corporation in the Smartpark on the U of M campus. I had the opportunity to interact with the President and CEO, Directors and Managers, as well as employees in many diff erent departments. I can already see the positive infl uence that this experience is having on my in-class work and participation. I actually KNOW what the professors are talking about, and am able to apply various theories I’m learning to the work I did during my co-op work term”. - Alexandra Russin, 4th year Asper School of Business Co-op

Student, Marketing/Human Resource Management

- T. Chestley, undergraduate student in the Faculty of Science doing her fi rst Co-op work term under Dr. Parkinson in the Dept of Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Faculty of Medicine at Bannatyne. She was given the task of designing the best way to train and test mice as part of a behavioural experiment.

For more information on co-op opportunities see page 41.

“Co-op is the best choice I ever made.”

After winning the Gold Medal at Collège universitaire de Saint-Boniface, Erin Knight (Biochemistry Honours) chose the University of Manitoba for a second undergraduate degree to gain research experience. She spent eight months working on HIV-AIDS research in the lab of Dr. Francis Plummer, taking a poster on her project to the national AIDS conference and becoming a co-author on a paper recently published in the journal AIDS. When she took time off from her studies to travel, her research experience gave her the chance to work at the Institute for

Environmental and Scientifi c Research in New Zealand. Back in Canada, she is currently doing research at the Manitoba Centre for Proteomics and Systems Biology under Dr. John Wilkins, as part of her co-op program.

As a research assistant to Dr. Nicola Koper at the Natural Resources Institute (NRI), Katrina Hamilton has made a signifi cant contribution to the study of habitat selection of songbirds in Manitoba’s tall-grass prairie. Katrina is pursuing an honours degree in environmental science with a focus on biodiversity and conservation.

Can your impression of your dating partner’s self-esteem infl uence your overall satisfaction with the relationship? Larisa Cornelius’ honours thesis explored just that, and under the mentorship of Dr. Jessica Cameron, she found that people with higher self esteem experience an increase in relationship quality, while those with lower self-esteem do not. Larisa received the Canadian Psychological Association Certifi cate of Excellence for her work.

Our faculty is as diverse as our student body. Inside and outside the classroom, professors at the University of Manitoba strive to share their knowledge and passion for everything from music and engineering to debating and problem-solving. Some will challenge you, some will inspire you, some will make you laugh, but they all have the same goal in mind: to share their love of learning and discovery.

A soloist, recitalist, adjudicator, chamber and orchestral musician, Allen Harrington is the youngest faculty member in the Faculty of Music. His passion for music, his personable teaching style, and his credibility as a musician make him a favourite amongst his students.

“I really believe in a ‘tailor made’ approach to each student. I see how every student is diff erent in their ability, personality, musicianship, etc., and I try hard to come up with a unique approach that will challenge, motivate, and ultimately allow that student

to become the best musician and player of their instrument that they can be.”

Dr. Doug Buchanan is a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering who brings an empowering attitude, an open door policy and real-life experiences to his classroom. He says his focus as a professor is to keep students on the road and point them in the right direction, but that they’re the ones who ultimately have to apply the gas.

“I was lucky. I wasn’t the best undergrad student but for some reason a professor saw something worthwhile in me and it was because of his infl uence that I got a job with IBM right out of university. After sixteen years in New York he was one of the main reasons why I came back. I wanted to give back and provide students with the same support. Most importantly, I don’t require students to memorize but I do require them to think.”

University 1 is a unique approach to fi rst-year university, creating a solid foundation for student success.

OUR STUDENTS“When I started university I wasn’t sure what direction I was going in. University 1 gave me the opportunity to explore many diff erent options so I could make an informed decision. The staff in the U1 Help Centre were very inviting and friendly and made sure I had the answers to my questions.”

- Ben Plamondon, current U1 student

“University 1 gave me the support I needed in my transition from high school to university. I found that the University 1 Help Centre had a wealth of information. The friendly staff understood my questions and concerns and always strove to help me fi nd solutions. It was reassuring to know that there was always someone there when I needed help. “

- Judy Jayasuriya, former U1 student

ABOUT UNIVERSITY 1The University of Manitoba is the fi rst university in Canada to build a specifi c program for fi rst-year students. The goal of University 1 (U1) is to help ensure their success. We know that students do better when they can explore several degree options with no penalty and when friendly advisors are there for support. Most of the degree programs at the University of Manitoba begin with U1. The courses you take in U1 count as part of your degree, regardless of which program you ultimately choose. This means you can fi nish your degree in the same amount of time as you would at any other university; it does not add an additional year to your degree. In U1, you can explore diff erent areas of interest, choosing from over 200 courses from 13 diff erent faculties and schools. You have an opportunity to fi nd a program that fi ts you. This wide array of choice is one of the things that sets fi rst year at the University of Manitoba apart from all other Canadian universities. While in U1, you will also benefi t from the additional supports designed to ensure that you are well-prepared to continue with your studies.

CUSTOMIZED PROGRAMSEvery student is unique so every program is specifi c to each student’s personal, academic, and career goals. You can explore options while completing the require ments for one or more target programs. How is this done? The courses taken in U1 become part of your major or become the electives for your major, depending on the program chosen. This allows you to explore diff erent programs as well as providing the breadth of knowledge expected of a University of Manitoba graduate.

OUR STUDENTS“I have been interested in the dental profession since childhood. My choice to pursue Sciences and Dentistry at the U of M is partly due to the feedback I have received from my family dentist in Ottawa. He attended U of M for his dental studies, and raved about the facilities and program. Since my acceptance into the Faculty of Dentistry at U of M, I have been pleasantly surprised with the facilities and calibre of program here. I am excited that Dean Iacopino has devoted his energy into enhancing the faculty, facilities and program also. The choice to move away from home at 17 and attend the U of M for my undergraduate studies has clearly paid off and I am looking forward to another 3 years in Winnipeg and with the Faculty of Dentistry here at U of M.”

I got a tour of the facility and met some really interesting people in the offi ce. It was very encouraging.”

CAREER “TIPS” FROM CAREER SERVICES

Pick a career that makes “sense” for you – consider your interests, personality, values, skills, goals and dreams.

Attend a Career Planning Workshop to help you pick your career direction.

Know what you’re picking – talk to at least one person in the considered career before you make your choice.

Pick an occupation, not just an educational path.

Look for “career relevant” summer, part-time and volunteer work. Employers want more than just a degree.

Sign-up at workopolisCampus.com for email updates on Career Fairs, Employer Information Sessions, and other Career Service activities.

Attend our Career Fairs – our January Career Fair has over 100 employers who want to meet you!

Don’t give up on a career path because you don’t like the fi rst-year course(s) – the work in the career will likely be very diff erent from what you see during University 1.

Don’t make the decision alone – talk to someone you trust.

Use available resources – Career Services can help you along the way with everything from decision-making to fi nding work!

Employment Services – Receive help with preparing for your career after university. Our friendly staff are available to meet with students on an individual basis to:

• critique resumes• conduct mock interviews to help you with

the interview process• suggest employers to approach to gain

experience related to your discipline• help you develop your own marketing/job

search plan

We also off er drop-in appointments everyday from 10:00am – 1:00pm in the Career Help Centre (September to April) for quick resume critiques and to answer any employment-related questions. Workshops on a variety of employment topics (e.g., resume writing, interview skills, job search skills, etc.) are also available.

PERSONAL COUNSELLINGIn addition to the career services available at the Student Counselling and Career Centre, students can also access and receive personal counselling services including one-on-one counselling and group programming. Our personal counselling services can help students deal eff ectively with a wide range of issues such as adjusting to life transitions, stress, depression, loss, family issues, relationship diffi culties, abuse, academic performance, self-confi dence, motivation and procrastination.

Applying classroom-based theory to real-life situations on the job.

Our Cooperative and Internship Programs allow students to rotate between classroom time and paid work experience. The rotations are usually four months in duration and start after second or third year. Co-op students network with practitioners early in their academic program to fi nd mentors and practitioners who can assist in their development through co-op placements and help them secure full-time, permanent employment upon graduation. Conversely, internships last for a period of between 12 and 16 months and are usually taken after the third year of studies. Cooperative and/or internship programs are available in:

Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences (degree and diploma programs)Faculty of Engineering (Biosystems, Civil, Computer, Electrical, Manufacturing, Mechanical)Clayton H. Riddell Faculty of Environment, Earth, and Resource (Environmental Science, Environmental Studies, Physical Geography) Faculty of Science (Biochemistry, Chemistry, Computer Science, Ecology, Genetics, Microbiology, Zoology)Asper School of Business

“Because of the hands-on training in the labs, the work terms have made my academic work seem more worthwhile. I am able to apply what I learn in the classroom to my work in the laboratory, and vice versa. I give credit to the co-op program in helping me realize my potential in the fi eld of scientifi c research. Because there is a great deal of competition in the research fi eld, the co-op program has given me a signifi cant advantage—I have the ‘edge’ that I need to get ahead.”

- Lillian Maranan, Faculty of Science grad

“ While working over the summer I was able to put the skills and knowledge acquired throughout my courses into practice. I was able to attend various seminars gaining knowledge that I am now using in my current courses and am sure I will continue to use this knowledge throughout my career. I gained “real world” experience and have developed not only intellectually but interpersonally. The experience was excellent for all parties involved and I have been hired back part-time for the fall and winter. Having the co-op education program has started me on the right path to reach my educational and career goals. I will forever be grateful.”

- Natasha LandegaDegree, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada/Canadian Grain Commission,Winnipeg, MB

PROFILESDaniel Routhier (B.Env.St Honours Co-op; 4th year) is currently working with the Canadian Wildlife Service to monitor waterfowl populations in the prairie provinces and Arctic regions. Daniel is planning a career in wildlife management and through this placement has gained insight not only in the area of fi eld research but also how this information is used by federal and provincial agencies to develop and adapt policy to ever-changing environmental conditions.

Jennifer Enns (Microbiology Major) got her fi rst taste of research while assisting a PhD student studying wastewater treatment in environmental engineering. Once she entered the co-op program, she was able to get research experience more directly related to her fi eld of interest, medical research. In the Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics, under Dr. Fiona Parkinson and Dr. Donald Miller, she did research on the blood brain barrier performing a variety of techniques on sections of human and rat brains. She then went to the St. Boniface Hospital Research Centre where she worked under Dr. Karmin O, Department of Animal Sciences, on lipid metabolism and cholesterol in the liver.

Applications Steps for Undergraduate Students – International ApplicantsAny student who does not hold Canadian Citizenship or Permanent Resident (Landed Immigrant) status is considered an international student. However, Canadian Citizens/Permanent Residents who are currently residing outside of Canada or who are applying on the basis of academic credentials completed outside of Canada will be required to complete the necessary academic requirements specifi ed for their country of education. Information about international student admission and a listing of entrance requirements by country of education is available at umanitoba.ca/student/admissions/international.

Step 9Apply for a Study PermitIn order to study in Canada, all international students are required to obtain a study permit. Students are responsible for all aspects of their application and for ensuring that they comply with the conditions of their study permit. For students arriving from the USA: Study permits can be issued at any Canadian port of entry when the following documents are provided: identifi cation, proof of suffi cient funds, and a Certifi cate of Acceptance from the University of Manitoba.IMPORTANT: For international students arriving from countries other than the USA: Depending on the country, you may be required to apply for, and produce an approved Temporary Resident Visa before a study permit can be issued. For more information, consult: www.cic.gc.ca/ENGLISH/visit/visas.aspIndividuals with visitor visas are responsible for contacting Citizen and Immigration Canada (CIC) to change their visa to a study permit. International students already studying at an institution in Canada must also contact CIC to renew the terms and conditions of their study permit.Details for obtaining a study permit are available at www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/index.asp

Once you have applied, what’s next? Th e next steps will be similar to those outlined on the previous page. Please note, international students are required to pay an International Diff erential Fee of 180% based on the total tuition fees for Canadian/Permanent Residents and an application fee of $110.00 for all direct entry and advanced entry programs (see page 61). Under the Manitoba/Minnesota Reciprocity Agreement, residents of Minnesota, USA, are exempt from this sur-charge and will be permitted to pay the same fees as Canadian Citizens/Permanent residents for application and tuition. Th ese students must complete the following form with appropriate documentation: umanitoba.ca/student/admissions/media/reciprocity_form.pdf

Follow Step 1 and Step 2 from the previous page.

Step 3Program Requirements (please review 3A from previous page) All international applicants must meet both the General Entrance Requirements and Specifi c Subject and Performance Requirements for their country of education and program of application, plus the specifi c faculty requirements for the faculty or school for which they are applying, including any specifi ed minimum level of performance and/or evidence of professional suitability. All programs except Dental Hygiene, Dentistry, Medical Rehabilitation, Medicine and Pharmacy will accept applications from international students (admission may be competitive). Also note that although you must fulfi ll these requirements to be considered for admission, meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission.Note: Applicants from the United States will be required to meet the entrance requirements as stated above, however SAT scores or ACT scores are not required.

Follow Steps 4 through 6 from the previous page.

Step 7Pre-Order Courier Service for International DeliveryAll letters from the Admissions Offi ce, including Certifi cates of Acceptance, are sent by regular postal services unless courier services have been pre-ordered. If you are living outside of North America, we recommend that you pre-order courier services by completing the Courier Service Order Form available on our website.

Step 8Submit Transcripts and DocumentsPlease read Step #7 on the previous page. In addition, students submitting documents in a foreign language must have their transcripts translated and notarized.

What is my Student Type? umanitoba.ca/admissions/requirements

High School StudentsStudents applying to the University of Manitoba based on high school courses are considered high school applicants. Direct Entry programs are the only programs available to high school applicants.

Mature Status StudentsMature student status is meant only for students who do not meet their high school or transfer student requirements. You can apply as a mature status student if you meet the following conditions: • you do NOT meet the high school requirements • you are at least 21 years of age • you are a Canadian Citizen or a Permanent Resident • you have never previously attended university or college OR

have completed less than 24 credit hours (four full courses) As a mature status student, you may apply to any one of the Direct Entry programs (except for the School of Art degree program). If you are interested in one of our Advanced Entry programs, please apply to University 1 to complete the required fi rst year courses.1. It is recommended that mature status student applicants

submit any previous Grade 12 transcripts that may include specifi c subjects in math, biology, chemistry, and physics; otherwise, upgrading may be required in these areas.

2. Mature status students must also fulfi ll any required performance requirements that may be required such as the Fine Arts portfolio.

3. Mature applicants to Engineering require a minimum of 60% in each of Pre-Calculus Mathematics 40S, Chemistry 40S and Physics 40S (or the equivalent from other provinces/countries or previous upgrading in these areas) plus a minimum 85% average over these three subjects.

Special StudentsYou may apply as a special student if you wish to enrol in degree credit courses, but are not interested in pursuing a degree. Courses completed may subsequently be accepted as credit towards a degree, diploma or certifi cate. Special Students usually enter General Studies (Extended Education).

Visiting StudentsStudents registered at another post-secondary institution who would like to complete courses at the University of Manitoba and have the credits transferred to their home institution will be considered as visiting students. Most visiting students apply to General Studies (Extended Education). A Letter of Permission from the home institution listing the specifi c course(s) is required.

Auditing StudentsIf you wish to attend lectures for a particular course but do not want to complete the assignments or write the exams and, therefore, not receive a grade or any credit hours upon completion of the course, you can apply for admission as an auditing student. Auditing students should apply to General

Studies (Extended Education) for admission. Auditing students will be charged one half of the course fee. Written permission is required from the course instructor prior to application.

Readmission, Continuing and Returning Students All students who were admitted and who did not follow through with registration must apply to the Admissions Offi ce for readmission. Former students who have attended other institutions since their last registration at the University of Manitoba must apply to the Admissions Offi ce for readmission, unless the other institution was attended on a Letter of Permission.

Transfer StudentsStudents who are in good academic standing and have completed a minimum of 24 equivalent credit hours (four full-year courses) at a prior university or college recognized by the University of Manitoba will be considered as transfer students. Students with less than 24 equivalent credit hours will still be assessed for advanced standing or transfer credit, but will be considered for admission as a high school student or mature status student.Students may receive up to two years or 60 credit hours (10 full-year courses) of transfer credit, depending on the faculty of admission and their regulations regarding advanced standing and/or transfer credit. Most faculties restrict transfer credit to coursework completed within the last ten years. All transfer students should review program requirements prior to application and compare previous university-level work with the admission requirements listed in the program application package, umanitoba.ca/applynow or in the General Calendar, umanitoba.ca/calendar.

Advanced Standing and Transfer Credit EvaluationTh e evaluation of prior coursework to fulfi ll admission requirements or advanced standing/transfer credit is part of the application for admission process. Courses are evaluated on a course by course basis by the appropriate teaching unit on campus. Detailed course outlines should be submitted for all previously attempted university or college coursework. Th ese outlines, as issued by your prior institution, are subject to verifi cation. If the course information is from an online source, please ensure the web address is also included. Course information should include the following: • a statement of the course objectives• an outline of the units studied in the course• name of textbook(s) and/or bibliographies used• length of course and/or credit hours • information should also be included for any lab component of a courseTo accelerate the external course assessment process, especially for students studying outside the province or country, the submission of detailed course outlines/syllabi at the point of application is recommended. Course material sent separate from the application should include your University of Manitoba applicant or student number and faculty of application. Since educational systems vary from country to country, some inter-national students will require a year or more of equivalent university coursework to enter a Direct Entry program. International applicants should review the list of general requirements by country to determine if the university work completed is considered as the basis of admission or if completion of high school is suffi cient. Details are available at umanitoba.ca/student/admissions/international.

Undergraduate Programsumanitoba.ca/admissions/programs

Admission to undergraduate programs is divided into two categories: Direct Entry and Advanced Entry.

Faculties Requiring Two or More Years of University StudyDentistry, Law, and the Education/Music integrated program require two years of pre-professional studies to qualify for admission. Education and Medicine require a completed degree before entry. Like the post-University 1 programs, the following faculties will have academic and non-academic requirements and will use a selection process to choose the best qualifi ed students: Dentistry Education (Aft er Degree Program) Music Integrated Program

For application information on Advanced Entry certifi cate, diploma, and other programs, refer to page 60.

Citizenship and Residency Program RequirementsTh e University of Manitoba welcomes international and out-of-province students and recognizes the value of a diverse student population. However, as a provincial university, its fi rst responsibility is the provision of education for residents of the Province of Manitoba who are Canadian Citizens/Permanent Residents; therefore, admission of international or out-of-province students to some faculties/schools may be limited.OPEN - All qualifi ed applicants including international and out-of-province students will be considered for the follow-ing programs: Agricultural and Food Sciences, Arts, General Studies (Extended Education), Clayton H. Riddell Faculty of Environment, Earth, and Resources, Science, and University 1.LIMITED - Th e following programs have limited student quotas and some have specifi c limitations with respect to international students. As such, the best qualifi ed appropriate applicants from the applicant pool will be ad-mitted: Architecture, Asper School of Business, Education, Engineering, Fine Arts, Human Ecology, Kinesiology and Recreation Management, Law, Marcel A. Desautels Faculty of Music, Nursing, and Social Work.RESIDENT PRIORITY - No international students are considered for Dental Hygiene, Dentistry1, Medical Rehabilitation, Medicine, and Pharmacy. Priority for Dentistry, Medical Rehabilitation, Medicine and Pharmacy is given to Canadian Citizens/Permanent Residents who are residents of Manitoba2 or who have completed prerequisite coursework in Manitoba. Preference may be given to residents of Manitoba for positions in Dental Hygiene. 1 Consideration is given to graduates of an international dentist program applying

to the International Dentist Degree Program.

DIRECT ENTRY (apply from high school)Students entering directly from high school (or equiva-lent) chose a “Direct Entry” faculty. With the exception of University 1, these programs are also open to students transferring from other faculties, universities or colleges. University 1 will only consider transferring students who have completed less than 24 hours of coursework. In some cases, a person can apply as a mature status student without high school graduation (see page 49). For most students, studies at the University of Manitoba will begin in University 1. Below is a list of direct entry programs: University 1 Agriculture Diploma Engineering Fine Arts (diploma and studio degree programs) General Studies (Extended Education) Marcel A. Desautels Faculty of Music

ADVANCED ENTRY (apply after University 1)Every program that admits from University 1 (or with the equivalent amount of work completed in another faculty or at another university) will have certain criteria that must be met to be considered for admission. Th ese criteria are described in full in the Applicant Information Bulletins which are available from the Admissions Offi ce website at umanitoba.ca/applynow (the University 1 StartBook, umanitoba.ca/U1/startbook, provides a general overview of the criteria but students should also reference the Bulletins for complete details). Th ey may include academic criteria (e.g., certain minimum number of courses that must be completed, specifi c required courses, minimum grades in specifi c courses, minimum overall or adjusted averages, etc.) or non-academic criteria (e.g., references, an interview, relevant background information, etc.). When it is not possible to off er admission to all eligible applicants, the faculty will have a selection or admissions committee which will choose the best qualifi ed students, using a process that is described in the Applicant Information Bulletin.
