Message from the Dean

Welcome to the Faculty of Graduate Studies at
The University of Manitoba.

The University has become a well-established research-intensive institution since its founding in 1877. Two campuses make up the University of Manitoba: the Fort Garry campus, located near the south end of the city of Winnipeg, encompasses a spacious 274-hectare area along the bank of the Red River, and the Health Science campus near downtown Winnipeg, is part of one of Western Canada’s most modern health care complexes. The Faculty of Graduate Studies brings together a community of scholars that includes more than 3,200 students, 1,970 faculty, and 140 graduate programs. As the oldest University in Western Canada, we have a long and proud tradition of achievement and innovation in graduate scholarship. We take pride in our laurels, our vision, and our pursuit of excellence in graduate education, scholarship, and research.

As the Dean of Graduate Studies, I want to ensure that your graduate education and experience here at the University of Manitoba is the best it can be. My office is committed to building a graduate culture that assures graduate student learning and self-reliance while fostering a timely completion of your graduate studies. We are committed to providing exceptional administrative and academic service to our graduate students, faculty, and support staff. If you have any questions regarding our programs, admission, scholarships, or bursaries, I encourage you to contact us.

Dr. J. Doering, P.Eng.
Vice-Provost (Graduate Education) & Dean of Graduate Studies
