M.P.A from McGill University [MCGILL], Montreal - Fees & Admission Details 2025

• Course syllabus keeps changing according to the professors, so in my opinion it is well updated.
• I had to look for opportunities; I wasn't given any opportunities.
• Depends on the class schedule; at maximum, you can expect 2 classes a day.
• This number varies from course to course; for popular courses it has around 200 students, for others it is on average around 30.

• Around $68000

• Most of the master-level courses are moderate to difficult level so if you do not follow properly, chances are you will fail and you will have to reappear in the exam and this is very common in some advanced-level courses; almost 50% of the class will fail. So the only solution is to be sincere and follow through; otherwise, you will take extra time to finish your degree.
• (I have personally seen such people who got their master's degree in 4 years' time; a part-time job is also another reason which causes extension, as in that case you devote fewer hours to your studies). The courses will be highly industry relevant and most of them are practical with a bit of a touch of theory.
• Positive aspect is the industry relevance so once you finish a course, you are actually proficient with a skill set that will help you in getting a relevant job. And the negative is that a lot of interesting courses were in the German language. So, if you don't know the language, then you will not be able to follow.
• So you will typically have one or at most two classes in a week for a subject and each session is around 3 hours long.
• It varies course to course in English language taught courses. the number can be as high as 30 but it depends; you can assume 20-30 persons in a class.
• It was around 20-30% of total strength.

• For me, since I was there for a semester for my thesis, I paid the usual semester contribution, which was around 350 euros back then. This is the same for each semester. this does not include the rent of the accommodation and food. For accommodation you can rent a private flat or even go with a student agency called "Studentenwerk". Usually they offer cheap accommodations.) (for me it was 300 Euros permonth).
• For me it was around max. 1000 euros per month, including everything excluding the semester contribution.
   

• For finding accommodation, it is mostly through friends, which is the most trustworthy, as international students are more prone to SCAMS. Be aware of it!. Some other platforms are facebook marketplace, Kjiji.
• But make sure you sign the proper document and read the agreement terms and conditions. Some landlords create an issue, especially for those of Asian origin.

The course curriculum is well designed and the diverse courses are offered across different domains.

For thesis based programs, the total fees can be somewhere around 35000 CAD. For non-thesis-based programs, the total fees can be around 42000 CAD.

Perfectly updated and relevant. Industrial exposure is not provided yet because my field is more basic science. But McGill has career oriented coaching programs which i plan to use during my final year of PhD.

International fees: $20,000 per year (in CAD). But thesis-grad students receive about $16,000 as an international fee waiver every year.

It was a very nice program with a variety of courses and offered exposure into broad bases in human biology. They were actively making changes to the curriculum and finding new ways to improve the coursework. In terms of research the program was heavily designed to be research focused and allowed multiple support for research opportunities and students with novel ideas or looking to join labs.

$32000 CAD

Updated and research-intensive. You can get RA positions if you try hard enough. You can get an internship at the law firms. CDO (google it) helps you in the process too. But ultimately your efforts will decide your career, nothing else.

Around CAD 30,000 for a year of Master of Law.

Yes, I am in a thesis program where i am working in a research lab by taking MRI of subjects and analyzing them as my research work.

McGill University, being one of the premier research institutes of the country has truly lived up to its expectations as it has given me a great platform to start my research career with its strong research abilities and a great international outlook. I'm really glad that I took this decision to pursue my masters from this university and looking forward to graduate soon.

The course syllabus was up-to-date. We were given industrial exposure through researching directly on companies and interacting with company executives.

120000 CAD (approx 20000 CAD a semester)

Mine is a thesis program which means I'll be doing research work on a particular area of interest. I'll have one course every term until the first year which is related to my program and it's taught by different professors based on the topic of that class. And the remaining everything is just the research work!

It's around 35,000 CAD for two years
