Message from the President and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Manitoba

I would like to welcome International College of Manitoba (ICM) students to Western Canada’s oldest university, which celebrated its 130th anniversary in 2007. Since 1877 the University of Manitoba has been the centre of post-secondary education in our province, and has adhered to its core philosophy that access to the best education must be available to all who have the ability to benefit by it, regardless of sex, race, creed, language or nationality.

The Partnership between ICM and the University of Manitoba is designed to offer eligible students an alternative pathway to university studies. I hope that you will consider joining the University of Manitoba after you have successfully completed your studies with ICM.

I hope you achieve everything that you hoped for when you decided to study abroad. I wish you every success as you embark on your studies at ICM.
