M.Arch from Dalhousie University [DAL], Halifax - Fees & Admission Details 2025

• Syllabus is fairly relevant and it provides different varieties of courses for all the fields
• There was a compulsory co-op / project term where you will get exposure to industry.
• There will be 9 hours of classes in the week excluding the lab/tutorial work and timings depend upon the selected courses.

• Fee was around  45000 CAD.

• My search started with the university's WhatsApp group. After finding the group, we added our accommodation request. Luckily, we saw the Kijiji and Facebook marketplace postings on the group, to which we responded. Since alumni from the university were leaving the city, we found the perfect time to pitch in our request and paid all the rent to secure the spot. The lease was signed online, and we found the perfect house close to Dalhousie University.

• I used online platforms like LinkedIn, Glassdoor, and Indeed for the job opportunities here.
• I am facing challenges regarding the job because the job market is not good and its difficult to get opportunities and jobs here.
• Just apply, make connections, and do cold emailing; those are my suggestions to get a good job.

• Courses were not too difficult; it also depends on the courses that you pick. Most students in my course were Indian. My batch was of 120 students. Classes can be from morning to evening, again depending on your courses.
• The positive is that you have the option to do a coop in the last semester; they offer different types of courses to choose from.
• The negative is that some of them have limited seats.

• Link for more details: https://www.dal.ca/admissions/money_matters/tuition_payments/Tuition_Fees.html
• Tuition is paid semester-wise; they also allow credit. it was around 10000-11000 for the first 3 semesters, which include around 6000 international fees. For the last, 4th semester, the fees were around 8000. I think they increased the fees recently. Fees include health insurance, buss pass, gym membership. These can be removed if not required. To remove health insurance, you will need another health insurance.
• I am not sure about hostels, but its really costly. Better find a place to live in the city. In Halifax, a shared room can cost around 500 CAD and can go up depending on utlities. A private room can be found for around 800-1200 CAD.
• Food is costly; depending on your phone plan and how much do you like to spend for entertainment, monthly expenses can be around 350-550 CAD.
• For transportation, I would suggest keeping the bus pass that you get with the tuition, as it's way cheaper than getting a normal bus pass.
• Overall, you will need at least 900 CAD monthly.

The course curriculum is well updated as per current standards. There are simulations, projects and so many other lab sessions which teach a new technology to the students.

37000 CAD

This university is good. It's above average in terms of studies. Standards are pretty high. I am actually satisfied. Here everything is practical, with no theory exams. Study pressure is average, not too high, not too less. The courses they have collected here, its like hitting a bull's eye for a software developer to get a job. They have courses which are hot cakes right now in the market. They have a course for data analytics and data science. Whatever technology is booming right now, they have the course for it. They have customized their course plan according to the market. They have tied up with some companies, who constantly give more importance to Dalhousie students.

The tuition fee varied each term. the first term it was around C$6500. As the next term started, they increased the fee gradually, it was around C$7500-8500. In my last term, I almost paid C$9000

The course curriculum is a bit more difficult than I expected but it is very interesting.

My tuition is about $9000 a year. I got a government student loan and was not awarded any scholarships as I am a transfer student. The school does offer bursaries that students can apply for once every semester and they can help offset some costs. They are given out based on financial need. I applied for one this semester.

Good facilities and few faculties are good, easily approachable to solve your queries, whereas few just teach and don't bother to get feedbacks. Overall the faculty of computer science is good enough to manage.

The fee structure is like around $5000 each semester which includes transit, gym, society fees altogether. The total course in rupees will come around 13-15 lakhs. I took an education loan from a bank back home. Even to get a loan it took me a month. For Masters, there are not many scholarships available but they do offer teaching assistants and best student awards.

Very hectic, a crazy amount of courses to fit into this specialized course, and sometimes learning information will never have to know in the future. Feel as though they could take out a few of the courses they currently have and focus more in-depth on the more important topics that apply to the dental field.

2 payments, one first semester and one second, the larger payment being first, includes medical insurance, bus pass, facility renewal fees, etc, tuition, instrumentation fee, and the list goes on.
