Overview

Overall experience is great. Faculty is very approachable and knowledgeable.

7.2 /10

Dislikes:

  • The only problem is that this is a French University so it's a bit hard for anglophones to manage but its still easily manageable. Most of the things can be converted using Google Translate and most of Graduate Courses are either bilingual or have an English version. null

Overview

Well my overall experience so far is amazing. I learnt a lot and my Research areas are now more clear. I would say this experience not only tech me professionally but also helps me grow personally. People from various culture and experience share their life and it is always amazing to listen their stories.

Scholarship

I received few scholarships, first one is Mitacs Globalink Graduate Fellowship for 15000 CAD it is only given to Mitacs Globalink Research Inters. The other one was given by my supervising professor for 18000 CAD/year and also one scholarship from University which is given to all International Students.

Dislikes:

  • Since its in Montreal, French becomes a problem post MBA. In the MBA, it wont be a big problem, however, becomes a challenge once you start finding jobs. Usually people who don't want to learn french move to Toronto .

Overview

I enjoyed it overall. It is highly fast paced compared to a 2-year program. It can push your limits but would be a rewarding experience.

Scholarship

Yes, $15000 admission excellence scholarship.

8.3 /10

Dislikes:

  • There is a language issue for a lot of the subjects because it is a French University after all, however anyone pursuing a graduate course under DIRO (CS dept) can take take the English version of the classes. null
  • Most (I think all) ML professors affiliated with Mila (Yosua Bengio's ML research lab) teach in English. Mila = English but specifically for undergraduate classes I believe there are no English options. null

Overview

My personal experience has been top notch. Being a student at UdeM is quite something once you open the course registration every semester and look at the subjects being offered for ML and the person whos is teaching it. The courses are hard and require work but the evaluation is fair and the teaching faculty are the same people who original wrote papers on the stuff that's being taught. Professors are approachable and listen to feedback, there are tons of networking opportunities and you are always surrounded by a cohort that helps you improve. Montreal as a city itself is perhaps my favorite city in North America and probably a students dream come true. Every semester students can also take up to two courses from another University too. Needless to say, I really think the experience is worth it.

Scholarship

I got the scholarship called the : Bourse d’exemption UdeM - 2e cycle : 9787.95 $ per year. No separate application is required for this, it depends on the student profile, and is decided by the department.

academic: 10/10

Overview

It was ranked #1 for my course. The structure of the course is very flexible and the strategic management subject is ranked highest in Europe. It was a short path to entering the business world because MBA requires work ex, and MiM doesn't.
