Overview

The admission process for college is relatively straightforward. We have to submit an application form, transcripts of all previous academic work, a copy of the PTE test & a copy of the passport and visa application form. I have an admission with the help of the consultant agency CanDream Consulting and Coaching.

My experience at Durham College was pretty great. The teachers were friendly and the courses were well-designed to allow us to learn about each and every aspect of Digital Media Management. We had students from different countries which added to the diversity. Overall, I would recommend future students to definitely check out Durham College if they are considering Canada as their study destination.

6.7 /10

Overview

I had done my Bachelors in the field, other colleges were not providing a three-year course for the program. Having good theoretical knowledge in this field, wanted to get more hands-on practice, which this college was providing. Most importantly they were providing placement options last year, which would give me a broader vision of whether I could survive in this field for the next 20-25 years of my life.

Scholarship

No, i did not get any scholarships.

Overview

I did my bachelors in computer science engineering and ever since I have worked as a Business Analyst. I chose this program to further my knowledge of Analytics and Data. It is a vast field and is highly in demand. I chose to come to Canada as the country is very accepting of immigrants like myself. I love how every festival or event is celebrated here as well. The reason why I chose Durham college was that it was the only college which offered me the course I was looking for.
