What Students Say
Likes
- Honestly, given the fact that my grades in Bachelors were not that impressive, I only hand a few institutions that I qualified for. I did not want to give GMAT at that time hence, I was looking for the Universities that offer you admission without GMAT and still are reputable. TWU was one of it and the MBA program specifically was very intriguing for me as I could not decide if I wanted to go into Marketing, HR, or some other field. Therefore, I chose to go ahead with MBA which is designed to give you an overall experience of all the business areas. Another deciding factor was the course fee. Now don't get me wrong, it still was really expensive, but if I actually compare the MBA programs of the University of British Columbia or University of Toronto, they cost almost twice of what Trinity was charging at that time.
- The most advantageous aspect of my institution is that it offers students a fairly flexible schedule. This isn't your typical Monday through Friday school week. Students are free to select or alter their own study schedule in accordance with their schedules.
- Additionally, each course consists of only 5–6 classes, so if a student enrols in one course per month, they would only need to attend 5-6 classes. During these classes, the instructor covers the material covered in the syllabus and may administer quizzes or exams as needed. However, not all professors carry out exams because some place greater emphasis on presentations and active participation in class.
Dislikes
- Although I believe TWU needs to improve in a few areas, there really isn't much to be dissatisfied about. To begin with, it is illogical to have a passing grade of only 70% for a course, as this causes students to constantly worry that they will fail and then have to pay an enormous cost to retake the course.
- Some students find a means to sneak around the system and complete their assignments by engaging with some entity that specializes in all of this since they are afraid of what can happen. The students are not gaining anything from this, hence it is all wrong. All they want to do is get through the course without failing. Students would likely comprehend the course better and the situation would undoubtedly change if the standard for passing marks was lowered.
Required Exams for Admission
Undoubtedly, it has been a wonderful experience. I gained a new perspective on the world as a whole throughout my time studying abroad among students of many cultures and ethnicities. In retrospect, the experiences I've had at this university have been invaluable. It is difficult to put into words, yet studying overseas offers unparalleled knowledge and insight. The nicest thing about attending a university is that, well, you think you go there to just study, but really, you learn a lot every day since these places exist to develop you as a better human being in addition to helping you educate. How you choose to take advantage of that chance will determine your level of success.
Course Curriculum
Very satisfied with overall coursework as I said before too that they focus more in practicality of the subjects.
Faculty
There is a highly qualified and experienced faculty there. Many of the professors hold PhD and have extensive experience working in business or corporate environments. We were in constant communication with each other via email, so it was quite simple to get in touch with them. In addition, all of the teachers were more than glad to answer any questions we had after class. Our MBA director, Dr. Chen Liu, has had a profound and everlasting influence on me. She taught us Managerial Finance during the course of our degree. Even though I had never studied finance before, I grasped every topic she introduced because the manner in which she explains everything.
Campus Life
TWU has countless clubs to join. Although I am not well versed with them as I was mainly focused on my classes. The campus life is extremely fun and adventurous. TWU has many apartment buildings for housing for both male and female students. TWU also has their own basketball/soccer team, where they compete with different Universities on a national level.
Placement
Mostly Canadian Universities do not provide you with the placement options. TWU also does not have that option. Here people depend on their connections as networking is the key to acquire a high paying job. However, the college graduate association does plan a semi formal job fair, bringing in a few recruiters to hire students.
Accommodation
I live off campus, and in a high rise apartment where I have housemates. The average rent is about $500-600 CAD, again depending upon which area an individual is living in. On campus rents vary from $600-800 CAD, which includes meal plans from the cafeteria. It is better for the new comers to stay on campus for a while, just to make everything more accessible.
Exams
IELTS minimum 7 bands required in all the modules. I got 7.5 bands overall. GMAT/GRE is not necessary, but could strengthen your profile. Highly recommended to submit at least 3 LORs. SOP has to be written by yourself, do not try to make it easier by asking your agent to do it for you. CV/Resume is required, even if you do not posses any experiences. The interview process was not a part of the admission requirements.
Fees
About $40,000 (CAD) for the whole program.
