University of Manitoba recognised among the world’s top universities

TIME has released its World’s Top Universities of 2026 rankings, placing the University of Manitoba (UM) 136th globally and 6th in Canada. This recognition reinforces UM’s standing as one of Canada’s leading institutions and highlights its growing global reputation for academic excellence and impact.

What makes these rankings particularly significant is their emphasis on real-world outcomes. Beyond measuring academic performance and research influence, they also consider the success and global impact of graduates. UM’s strong position reflects its commitment to delivering a high-quality education that equips students with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to thrive in an increasingly competitive global landscape.

For students aspiring to join UM, accessible pathways are available via International College Manitoba (ICM). ICM offers supportive pathway programs designed to help students transition smoothly into university study while building a strong academic foundation. Upon successful completion, students progress to the University of Manitoba to complete their degrees and pursue their long-term goals.

Together, UM’s global recognition and ICM’s structured pathway support make this an especially compelling option for international students. With an excellent balance of academic impact and affordability, as well as flexible degree options, including three-year general degrees, UM continues to be a strong choice among international students.
