What is University 1 (U1)?
- U1 has relatively low entry requirements to achieve your academic ideals
- After U1 enrolls, choose the courses you are interested in, and then choose a major in the sophomore year
- U1 is not ESL. All courses are part of the regular university curriculum, and all courses are credit courses
- U1 is not an independent school. Courses and grades are recorded on your transcript as part of your degree
- U1 does not mean students must spend an extra year until graduation. Instead, U1 is equivalent to the first year of university

If students’ language scores cannot meet the admission requirements, they can apply for the Intensive Academic English Program provided by their English Language Centre. It allows students to study in their majors while learning English.
Research shows that students who complete the IAEP:
· Higher scores than other international students,
· Higher first-year GPA than native Canadian students, and
· More likely than other international or Canadian students to complete their degree.
In addition to learning in the classroom, IAEP provides opportunities to interact with the community. For example, language Partner volunteers provide weekly opportunities to IAEP students to practice speaking English.
If students’ GPAs have not met the requirement to apply for their major, they can start their journey at the International College of Manitoba (ICM).
ICM and the University of Manchester have always had a close cooperative relationship. They are committed to providing support services for international students to help them successfully enter the University of Manchester.
It is worth mentioning that ICM is located inside the main campus of the University of Manchester, which is the legendary embedded campus. ICM students can share all the resources of the University of Manchester with the students of the University of Manchester, including libraries, gymnasiums, five-star luxury gyms, indoor swimming pools, tennis courts, etc.
In addition, ICM students, like Mann students, can apply for campus dormitories and enjoy personal, humanistic care and intelligent service equipment.
The application for Fall 2023 is now open. Please visit the website of the University of Manitoba to learn more.
