If you successfully complete the program with the necessary GPA, you will be eligible for entry to UTP Stage II, which you may undertake in Arts, Business, Engineering, or Science. UTP Stage II: Arts is equivalent to the first year of University of Manitoba's Bachelor of Arts degree. When you progress to the second year of the degree program, you can choose from many areas in which to specialize, including economics, linguistic, philosophy, psychology and sociology. This program is meant for students with a minimum of a Grade 11 education or equivalent and an IELTS overall score of 5.0 with no band less than 4.5 and TOEFL overall score of 60, that would like to pursue a post-secondary education at the University of Manitoba. The program begins with an 8-month foundational program, including a mandatory English literacy course, followed by 12 months of a faculty-specialized academic program equivalent to the first year of university at U of M.

The German program teaches cultural literacy by providing language competence and a knowledge of texts, films and other forms of cultural representation. It offers language courses on all levels, introductory literature and culture courses for University 1 students in English translation, as well as upper level culture, literature, and second language acquisition courses in German as well as in English. If students have taken German or speak the language, they will be given advanced standing. For those with little or no German, an intensive language-training program is available in which conversation groups and up-to-date language lab methods are used in addition to the usual language study. Knowledge of German language and culture is an invaluable tool in today's globalized world, and for the study of European history in philosophy, art & comparative literature.
