With the Canadian University Experience Program (CUE) you get the opportunity to improve your English language ability and to take university courses in your area of study. The CUE program is divided into two parts:
1. Students study in the advanced levels (IEP Plus) of the Intensive English Program to prepare for university courses.
2. Students take three, three-credit hour university courses for one semester beginning at the start of the academic year in September and finishing in December. Students also have the option of taking their university courses in January and finishing in April.
Only students from partner universities with the University of Manitoba are eligible for this program. Partner universities will determine how students receive credit for their courses.
