Course Description

Program Description UTP Stage I: ICM's University Transfer Program Stage I (UTP Stage I) bridges secondary school and undergraduate studies. It consists of eight courses of study and is designed to prepare you for entry to university-level programs in Arts, Business, Environment, Engineering, or Science. 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 5.5 with no band less than 5.0 and TOEFL overall score of 69, 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. Admission into the University of Manitoba is not guaranteed - students must meet progression requirements as well as any program-specific entry requirements highlighted by the the University in order to gain admission. Physics is the science which explores and identifies basic principles governing the structure and behaviour of matter, the generation and transfer of energy, and the interaction of matter and energy. Knowledge of physics is essential in other natural sciences, such as chemistry and geology, and to professions such as engineering, medicine, and dentistry. Astronomy and astrophysics examine the universe, galaxies and stars as well as phenomena such as the birth of stars, how explosions of stars create fast moving cosmic ray particles and pulsars, and how the rotation of a galaxy reveals the presence of dark matter. A planetarium and two astronomical observatories enhance this program.
