Explore Program
For over 25 years, students from Canada have been choosing The University of Winnipeg's five-week Explore Program to increase their knowledge and skills in the English language. The Explore Program offers a learning and cultural experience that will leave you with a new appreciation for the English language while you make new friends and enjoy all that Winnipeg has to offer. The Explore program will be offered in-person and through alternate delivery format in two sessions in 2024.

Program Information
Classes
- We ensure that every student is placed in a class that reflects their level of ability and competence in the English language, which is determined for each student based on a pre-arrival placement test.
- Morning sessions focus on developing skills in listening, speaking, reading and writing. Practical afternoon workshops focus on speaking and listening to improve conversation skills.
Socio-Cultural Activities
- Students benefit from their participation in scheduled social activities that begin when classroom learning ends.
- During socio-cultural activities, students have the opportunity to practice English skills as they participate in informal English conversation. Our comprehensive virtual program will allow students to experience interesting local history and culture, local festivals, the arts, sports and much more.
