Dalhousie University Courses and Fees 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.

• 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.

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

Amazing Course, Learned alot. For me, Dal's better than most of the Universities as the co-op program it has, almost guarantees the job placement.

it's approx $7.5 per sem. and the course has 4 sems in total. so $30k total.

The course is designed that you can opt either for co-op or entrepreneur opportunities. Also you can work under faculties to research and get funding for any projects.

The entire program will be 35-40K CAD which is for the duration of 20 months(including co-op program)
