Walking around Winnipeg, you can hear English, French and even Ukrainian or Russian from everywhere. The
University of Winnipeg, which is one of the largest public universities in Canada, is equally culturally diverse.
At the same time, the liberality of the university is not only in the desire for globalization and development of the international programs, but also in the fact that the university can offer programs for foreign students at an affordable cost. U of W ranks third in the country in terms of tuition fees, which are rather below the national average university tuition fees.
The University of Winnipeg is ranked 13th among national universities in the ranking of the authoritative Canadian publication Maclean's magazine.
The university has earned high marks for academic excellence, strong teaching staff, education of indigenous peoples, development in solving environmental problems, healthy nutrition for students, small class sizes and a variety of campuses.
