Course Curriculum

10

  • I am a PhD student, so I do not have fixed classes. Unlike many universities, we have the flexibility of choosing coursework based on our time, but a mandatory 60 credits must be acquired in 5 years.

Admission Experience

  • I mainly chose it because of the project; the scope of research aligns with my interests.  The documents included a motivation letter and a CV, along with an LOR (I do not quite remember the latter)

Faculty

8

  • The student-teacher ratio I am unsure of, but we as TAs are responsible for regular problem-solving sessions and labs

Campus Life

6

  • It is pretty nice, very different from the Masters. It is rather more professional.

Part Time Jobs

  • I have no idea, but for us, PhD students, TA-ship is mandatory

Placement

8

  • It solely depends on the area of research; I cannot generalize

Accommodation

Off Campus
8

  • It was arranged by a company, appointed by the department

Exams

  • I do not think IELTS or GRE was mandatory, although I had submitted mine.

Fees

  • None, rather we have a monthly salary that covers all expenses.
