What Students Say
Likes
- One on one professional support, passionate well-read faculty
Dislikes
- Commuter campus makes socialising hard, minimal elective options for law
Course Curriculum
6
- For law, it’s pretty updated and a small community overall. Lots of practical exposure and willing mentors. Classes and timings depend on the course selection by the student. First year compulsory courses have about 50-60 students, other electives and courses can be much smaller with 10-15 students.
Admission Experience
- My choice was between a JD in Canada or an LLM from the UK, both dual degree offers from my home university. I chose UofC because of job prospects and economic considerations.
- Internal selection between the universities, dual degree pathway.
Faculty
8
- Very well versed with their subjects and eager to help students. Particularly, I was glad to have Prof. Stewart for business law and federalism, Prof. Kislowicz for administrative law and religion and the law, and Late Prof. Linda for constitutionalism and as my principal for partial articles.
Campus Life
6
- All basic facilities are available, and student discounts are available at partner locations all across the city.
Part Time Jobs
- Hard to find part-time roles on or off campus, largely due to dwindling markets and racism in Canada. Highly subjective and situational.
Placement
6
- Hard to describe or quantify, given the recent job market globally and the legal community in general, but the university stays committed to helping students find placements after graduation.
Accommodation
Off Campus
10
- I stayed in campus accommodation - a building allocated by student status, i.e., I was in the PG students' residence. Rent was CAD 1200, all amenities and services included. Very safe and convenient.
Exams
- IELTS, Statement of Purpose, LORs, Resume, Interviews
Fees
- For 2 years, I paid around CAD 100,000
