What Students Say
Likes
- UofL has the lowest tuition rate in Alberta. Also lots of international students. On top of that the professors are really nice and lot of opportunities to build relationships.
- Smaller class sizes. easier to build relations with professors. lots of opportunity for research. there are also lot of scholarships available. Smaller class sizes also help connections with other students that helps broadening one's network which is very helpful in the long run. There are opportunities to do co-op as well.
Dislikes
- Depending on what major you are choosing your possible class options can be limited. For example my first degree was in mathematics and there are very few options available for people who are interested in studying applied mathematics.
Required Exams for Admission
My experience has been wonderful for both my first degree in mathematics and second degree in applied statistics.
Course Curriculum
There are a lot of opportunities to do research and gain industrial experience through working in co-op jobs.
Faculty
The faculties are amazing. Their research is world class. This university is a research university.
Campus Life
There are many clubs available for people to join. For example there is a computer science club and a philosophy club. There also other clubs and sports opportunities available.
Placement
I have mentioned about the research opportunities above. Placement works differently. If you are getting a degree in something like computer science or finance, you are pretty much guaranteed a high paying job sooner or later
Accommodation
I do not have information about the residence cost for the university residences. These tend to be very expensive. My advise would be to try and find off campus housing. contacting the international student centre of the university is often helpful.
Exams
IELTS - 6.5. verbal - 6, written - 6, listening- 7, speaking 7 required scores are fairly similar to this. I am not clear as to what specific requirements are currently in place. I just needed my High School grades. I came here for my Bachelor's. I am not familiar with the current requirements.
Fees
About $22000/year. tuition is currently increasing at an about 10% a year.
