Thompson Rivers University Admissions: Deadlines, Admission Requirements for International Students, Decision, Selection Criteria and FAQS

The one particular reason for choosing this University is because it has a tie-up program with a college in India in Chandigarh. Through this program, I was able to complete two years of my Canadian education in India with the same curriculum as Canada. My overall experience at this University has been amazing. I really recommend this University as there are so many things you can find in here. I chose this particular program as it was of my interest and I was able to complete the first two years in India.

I chose this university as the program schedule was what I really wanted to study; the weather is pretty good compared to other provinces. On-campus classes are more than in other colleges/universities where the study is half online.

I have completed one year of study and it has indeed been a roller coaster of an experience. There are ups and downs but in the end the focus shouldn’t divert from the goal. There may be days when you may feel lonely but it’s important to remember why you’re there. Focus on your goals, speak to family and friends, work and strive hard to achieve your dreams.

Overall experience was okay, for the fees that I paid to become an MBA graduate I had a lot of expectations regarding learning a lot of things that could actually help me get a job sooner.

I contacted CareerBrick in Delhi, and they helped me with the admission process. Gave IELTS after studying for 3-4 days from an online platform called Magoosh. The admission process was relatively easy. Got the confirmation from the university in a couple of months, and that's it. Also, I gave my GMAT too, although it isn't a prerequisite for admission at the university.

I applied with my engineering transcript and IELTS scores for admission with help of an agent from India. It took six months to know a decision from the university's side. I selected this institution because being an engineer this is the only institution that takes non-business graduates for higher studies in programs such as post-baccalaureate diplomas.

I received a TRU diversity scholarship in the first year which was for students with good marks. However international students do NOT receive many scholarships here. Even though I received the scholarship they didn't give it to me in the second year saying that the scholarship was given to everyone because it was some anniversary. Moreover, many students were given the same amount when it was the pandemic and the university was struggling to find more immigrants which makes sense now.

The course and papers made sense for what I wanted to pursue: Affordable course.

No

TRU provides options to work on and off campus. They also have a co-op program where we can gain career related work experience before graduating

No

TRU is one of the best experiences anyone can get. For an average student like me, you get more than average rating University which has a good campus and can explore a lot of things in the University from joining clubs to being part of all the activities. One of the other reasons is diversity which is difficult to find in many colleges in Canada but fortunately, TRU will give that opportunity, especially in non-business courses.

No, I didn't receive any scholarship.

I came from Ukraine so the price is a good reason to choose TRU. It is cheaper than most Canadian major universities but still, it offers a lot of programs and activities. That fact that I had really good grades in school helps me still in studying and I did not have any problems with getting in a course.

Thanks to my grades from high school. I had got an entrance scholarship (1000$). The application was done by my international advisor during my application so I did not need to do anything.
