Study Agriculture in Canada: Bachelor Degree at University of Manitoba

If you finished an agriculture course at +2 or diploma level in Nepal, or a B.Sc. Agriculture at a Nepali university, Canada is one place to take it further. Our guide to study in Canada from Nepal covers the whole journey, and this post looks at agriculture only.

Can Nepali Students Study Agriculture in Canada?

Yes, Nepali students can apply to agriculture degrees in Canada, and the University of Manitoba is a good place to start comparing.

Many students in Nepal first meet agriculture at +2 or diploma level, then at bachelor’s level at schools such as IAAS and AFU. In Canada, you can study the science of crops and soil, or the business side of farming and food. Pick the side that fits your +2 subjects and the work you want later, whether that is in Nepal or abroad.

Before you apply, work out your +2 grade with our NEB GPA calculator, because each school sets its own entry rules. English scores are in our guide to minimum IELTS and PTE for Canada.

What Agriculture Degrees Does the University of Manitoba Offer?

Its Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences offers 4-year bachelor degrees, including agronomy and agribusiness.

The University of Manitoba is in Winnipeg, and agriculture sits in its Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences. These are two of its degrees:

Both pages list a Co-op Program, which gives you work placements as part of your studies, and both list their own admission requirements. Meeting those minimums doesn’t promise you a place, so read the page for your degree and apply early.

Which Other Canadian Schools Should You Compare for Agriculture?

Compare the University of Guelph, the University of Saskatchewan and the University of Alberta, which also teach agriculture.

Don’t choose from one school’s page alone. Read each school’s own program list, such as the University of Guelph undergraduate programs, and compare the courses, fees and entry rules for students from Nepal. Our list of universities in Canada has more schools, and our top courses in Canada guide shows other fields.

Think about the city too. Agriculture study often means time on farms and research stations, so check how far they are from your campus and how you would get there.

How Much Money Do You Need to Study Agriculture in Canada?

You pay your school’s international tuition and must also show CAD 23,448 a year for living costs, which is about Rs 25 lakh, if you study outside Quebec.

That living-cost figure comes from IRCC’s financial support rules, and you show first-year tuition on top. Fees change every year, so take them from the school’s fee page and not from an old list. Our cost of study in Canada page shows how to add up the total, and the proof of funds guide explains what papers families in Nepal need. You can check today’s figure with our CAD to Rs forex converter.

Can You Work After Studying Agriculture in Canada?

Yes, you can work up to 24 hours a week off campus during classes, and a bachelor degree can lead to a work permit after you graduate.

A bachelor’s degree has no field-of-study rule for the post-graduation work permit (PGWP), but you must still meet its other conditions. Read IRCC’s PGWP page for them. A degree or work permit doesn’t promise you a job or permanent residence, so choose agriculture because you want the work.

You can talk this through at any Goreto branch in Kathmandu, Lalitpur, Chitwan, Itahari or Pokhara, or book a counselling session first. Bring your marks, and we’ll help you compare agriculture schools for your plan.
