Required Exams for Admission
Course Curriculum
The course keeps on getting updated as per the industry requirements. Since cyber security is a continuous developing field, the course also gets updated with the new technologies being used in the market to keep the systems more secure.
Faculty
The professors are easily approachable either online or in person. We are allowed to interact with them in case of any issues and can easily arrange a one-to-one meeting as well. In the classes as well, along with the professor, there are Teaching Assistants as well (the number depends on class strength).
Campus Life
Concordia University offers innumerable opportunities for students to participate in extracurricular activities. It ranges from technical to fun activities to few parties and picnics as well. There are organizations within the university managed by current students to abet new/upcoming students in regards to finances, accommodation, interview preparation.
Placement
Various companies like Bell, Deloitte visit the campus for placement fair and they offer opportunities for new graduates as well.
Accommodation
This is really a personal decision which depends upon various factors like your part time income, lifestyle, adjusting behavior. I am staying in a shared room since the beginning. On an average per month cost could vary up to 900-1000 CAD if you follow a decent lifestyle, else the cost goes up.
Exams
We need to give IELTS academic or general in order to take admission. I scored overall 8 bands in IELTS academic with individual score as : Listening 9, Reading 8.5, Writing 7, Speaking 8. We are required to submit an SOP and 3 LORs in order to complete the admission process. Considering the details, it is mandatory to include our academic and professional background along with our inspiration to select the country, course and the university/college. Moreover, we should not forget to mention our language test details, funds to cover our expenses along with the future scope so that the authorities have a clear understanding of the future goals. Concordia University does not have any such round for my program. But definitely in order to take admission in any Thesis based program, there are multiple rounds of interviews along with few tests for the students. This involves their previous research topics and current programs curriculum.
Fees
The fees for whole program is near to 33,465 CAD in addition to 10,000 CAD GIC which every student needs to submit.
