Program is the ongoing development of international exchange
programs, which provide opportunities for students to take
a semester of study at a university outside Canada, and transfer
credit for approved courses to their programs at the University
of Manitoba. During such exchanges students remain registered,
and pay current tuition, at the University of Manitoba.
Over the
last ten years, selected students have taken part in study
tours and/or exchanges to highly regarded universities in
the United States, Mexico, France and Sweden, depending on
the projects available. From time to time, funding may also
be provided to cover part of the costs of travel and expenses.
