University of Ottawa Courses and Fees 2026

• Course curriculum relevancy is 80-90%. I have 2 Internship experience back in India. Most of the courses in this master's programme will be requiring a term project or research project, including report and ppt submissions for fulfilment while studying the course.
• 90% of the course will be having a 3-hour class a week for 13 weeks, which is the term duration. Some courses have two 1.5 hour classes a week. Timings vary drastically. 0830-1130, 1430-1730, 1900-2200. 85% in person, 15% online. Average number of students depends upon the course. 15 per class to 60 per class.

• 1 CAD - Canadian Dollar ($) = INR 63 ish. Per credit it is around $1500. Each course carries 3 credits. So it would be around $4500 per course. Total would be $45,000 only for the course fee. Most programmes require 10 courses to finish the programme; 90% of the courses have options to choose, like electives, and 10% of the courses are mandatory. UHIP (University Health Insurance Plan), which is mandatory for every year as a student, would be around $800 per year.
• Other fees include gym, sports, association, and student pass (U-Pass) for public transport, which are included but still can be excluded later from the office. These fees would be up to $400.
• Considering the miscellaneous expenses associated only with the university programme, the total can be rounded off to $50,000 which would be around INR3.3M. Additionally, the federal government passed an order for a $20,300 GIC (Guaranteed Investment Certificate) amount, which should be paid to the federal government before lodging the visa while paying the tuition fee back in India. This amount will be deposited back to the student's account for 1 year as a security amount for student expenses in equal amounts monthly. Technically, the GIC amount comes back to our account.

The course is really good and practical. It might be difficult for some people to adapt at first. But once one gets going it's a smooth process. There are a variety of subjects from which a person can choose whatever he wants to study as per his liking. So overall a great pool of knowledge.

The University of Ottawa is a really good university for Civil Engineering. My major is in structural engineering and the university is very well known for that. The course structure is really flexible. Also, there are a lot of choices in courses for structural engineering.

All the courses at university of Ottawa are quite good but it’s only theoretical. There’s no industrial exposure since the lectures are held online.
