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.
