Bridge-to-University
The University of Winnipeg's Global Welcome Centre invites newcomer immigrant youth to learn more about university life in Canada. Bridge-to-University is a seven week program that gives immigrant youth the opportunity to learn more about the limitless opportunities of post-secondary education while having access to programs, services and resources at the University of Winnipeg.
This program is a great way to prepare for university while still in high school or to assist an immigrant youth who already has a high school diploma to gain access to a university degree or diploma.
