- Since I had significant years of work experience and I had done my previous studies long ago, I needed a course that did not require to submit any references from professors. There was no criteria of selection and selection was not competitive.
- Most teachers taught well and I learnt the concepts that I had not understood earlier. Most of the studies was online and technology was used properly by the instructors. The difficulty of the courses ranged from basic to difficult.
Dislikes
- I stayed in a hostel of the college. The rooms were small and expensive. The food provided did not have many vegetarian or Indian options. Most Indians don't stay in the hostel. I was fortunate to get a bigger room for myself due to Covid restrictions.
Accommodation
The college is situated in downtown and there are rooms and 1 bedroom apartments available for single students. For rooms the rent would be around CAD$600 p.m. and for 1 bedroom it would be around CAD$1,000 p.m. Food cost will be extra. Buses are easily available if required to go around the city.
I met students from across the world so it was a satisfying experience. I learnt about the Canadian culture that helped me in my workplace later. I felt the college put that effort in ensuring that we succeeded in passing the course and get into a job as early as possible.

- Winnipeg city is not too small not big. It's a great city with 2 universities. Also, It offers Masters program so I was interested in the same program only
- Winnipeg university offers nice courses for Masters. You will get good pratical knowledge about every courses you will take. Also, there are only few students in the classroom, so professors are able to help each students with their questions on personal basis.
Dislikes
- They do not offer courses in summer also no help to university students to find first internship or job. Other universities have their dedicated portal and help to find students first job but it is not available at Winnipeg university
Accommodation
I was living as a PG with one family. It really depends on how you want to live. If you need personal room and all other facilities, then you will spend like $1000/ month for living and food. Other expenses are different.
Overall we can consider this university as an option to study. My overall experience was good as I completed the courses on time.
Likes
- I liked the smaller class sizes opposed to the University of Manitoba. That’s the main thing that made my university appealing and it truly lead to a much better overall experience
- I loved the small class sizes and how you can personally get to know your classmates, professors, TAs and lab instructors. It’s a great community to be apart of and you really hold lifelong relationships!
Dislikes
- Because we are in downtown, the safety can be a concern especially for late night classes. However, there are measures in place to assist students when they need. Such as, having someone to walk to and from your car, bus stop, or even your home (within a certain radius)
Accommodation
I did not use accommodation but know some who did. You can do shared rooms or single rooms.
I loved the experience. I had so many classmates from year 1 on to year 4 that were in the same classes as I was. I built wonderful relationships with my professors and lab instructors that are life long.
Likes
- Its a Professional, Applied and Continuing Education (PACE) program in an affordable city in Canada.
- PR, Marketing and Strategic Communications by PACE (Professional, Applied and Continuing Education (PACE) programs) at University of Winnipeg is a hands-on course taught by active industry professionals. The curriculum and assignments are tasks we perform at work in Industry. Located in Winnipeg, the capitol of Manitoba makes it a very affordable living option in Canada.
Dislikes
- The University is a bit under rated and now overcrowded with international students. Some courses hardly have any Canadian students removing the Canadian perspective all international students look forward for.
Accommodation
I chose University residence facility available at extra costs. Student friends flats are available near campus.
As an international student returning to academics, PACE helped me gain North American, or to be precise Canadian, industry insights. If I consider my past experience as a cake, PACE is the icing that I needed to prepare myself for the Canadian job market.
Accommodation
I'm currently residing in an apartment with my sister and a friend. It's a two-bedroom apartment with a charge of $1299 monthly. This apartment was one of the best options for me, as I have access to various facilities within walking distance. There are various options to choose from in this city, as there are a number of apartment rental options and many numbers of students also prefer living with families in their rental homes.
This university gave me the option of enjoying qualitative education, with very affordable tuition and I took it. Moreover, the location was one of the factors for my admission as well, I have access to pretty much everything near my university.
Accommodation
I live in a house with my brother. I recommend students to live in the campus or in apartments or houses on rental basis. I would not recommend to live them eith any relatives or family friend.
The main reason was that it had small classrooms and a good environment so that I can easily make interactive learning with my teacher.
Accommodation
There are plenty of apartments available nearby as the university is downtown, so bus service is available even late at night.
I liked the average size of the classes and all the professors can be contacted, I have made a lot of friends here as the size is small enough to keep in touch with everyone.
I am always in marketing. My family is all in the business field. Maybe because of that I am into this course. After completion of my course, I want to open a business in Winnipeg. I want to succeed in my dream and I will do all I can for that.
Accommodation
Several living arrangements are offered by the University, including shared and private rooms in hostels as well as houses (shared) for rent. Check the website for updated prices and meal options. Owning a place in the city was cheaper than staying at the University for me.
To hone leadership skills, business and project management. Canada has an excellent education system with one of the highest liveability index, great reviews from alumni and affordability
Accommodation
We do have campus living, however I live off campus and thus I do not have a lot of knowledge about that.
Good reviews, heard about the professors and student services. And they all actually are true. I am glad to be here!
