Since 1877 the University of Manitoba has been at the centre of education in our province. Our philosophy is simple – provide access to the best education to all who have the ability to benefit from it, regardless of sex, race, creed, language or nationality. As western Canada’s first university, the University of Manitoba has a long history of educating those who become leaders in our communities. We are proud of that tradition – a tradition which continues today.
When it comes to research, the University of Manitoba has much to be proud of. University of Manitoba scientists have long conducted work that is of importance to the global community. Today, our researchers are working to find answers to some of the most pressing issues of our time. Our HIV/AIDS researchers are working here and around the world to better understand the devastating disease and possible vaccines to prevent it. Our climate change researchers are working at the top of the world to assess the impact of global warming in the Arctic and develop strategies for mitigating the damage. More than ever before, our scholars and scientists are finding new ways to protect the environment, improve human health, advance technology, and increase our understanding of ourselves and the complex world in which we live.
