Program details
Overview
The Bachelor of Nursing is offered by the College of Nursing within the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences and combines nursing knowledge with hands-on clinical practice across care settings. Coursework addresses client care across life stages, pharmacology, mental health, palliative care, and professional foundations in ethics and leadership, with an emphasis on applying classroom learning through clinical placements. The program is an advanced-entry route requiring at least one year of prior university-level study; admitted students then complete specialized nursing coursework not open to non-program students, with expected completion in 28 months following the qualifying year. Admission is competitive and based on an Adjusted Grade Point Average that varies by intake, alongside specific non-academic requirements such as documented completion of requisite skills and abilities. The program runs three intakes per year, in September, January, and May, with 120 students admitted per intake, and is delivered in Winnipeg, The Pas, and Thompson through a collaboration with the University College of the North. It suits students preparing for nursing careers in clinical, public health, policy, research, or specialized settings such as school or travel nursing.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to the Bachelor of Nursing at the College of Nursing is Advanced Entry only; there is no direct-from-high-school route. Applicants must complete a minimum of 30 university-level credit hours with a minimum grade of C in each, including BIOL 1410 Anatomy of the Human Body, one of BIOL 1412 or BIOL 2410/2420 for physiology, MBIO 1220 or MBIO 3010 for microbiology, 9 credit hours of Science Electives, and 12 credit hours of Social Science/Humanities electives. Applicants must also meet the University Written English and Mathematics requirements at the 1000 level or higher with a grade of C. The minimum Adjusted GPA (AGPA), calculated on the most recent 45 credit hours, is 2.5; admission is competitive and a higher AGPA is recommended. Non-academic admission requirements (e.g., a criminal record check) also apply.
Application Details
Start Date:September, January and May
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens and permanent residents) apply directly to the University of Manitoba. As of this September 2026 fetch, the Direct Entry deadlines page shows only the Fall 2026 cycle in full - University 1 and the Diploma in Agriculture at May 1, 2026 domestic / March 1, 2026 international, other Direct Entry programs at March 1, 2026 - a cycle that has already closed, alongside minor Winter 2027 (Dec 1, 2026) and Summer 2027 (Apr 1, 2027) intake deadlines. No Fall 2027 Direct Entry deadline has been published yet, so specific 2027 dates cannot be stated for the university's main intake. The Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Jazz Studies deadline (January 15, applying equally to domestic and international applicants) is likewise confirmed only for the 2026-27 cycle, also closed, with no 2027-28 bulletin posted. These are described as fixed deadlines rather than rolling admission, and the university opens each new cycle's applications on October 1. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
