Program Overview

University 1 (U1) is a direct-entry option with a unique, flexible approach to your first year at UM. It allows you to meet the admission or first year requirements for one or more target degree programs, even if you are not yet sure which degree path is right for you.

University 1 (U1) is one of the direct entry admission options at the University of Manitoba for incoming students. Thousands of new students each year start in U1, including those who:

  • Are entering from high school and have never attended post-secondary studies
  • Are entering as a mature student and have never attended post-secondary studies
  • Have fewer than 24 credit hours of post-secondary study (i.e. have attended another university or college, but have not completed a full year of study elsewhere)
