Transitioning Smoothly: Insights from a Professional Master's Student in Vancouver

Tips: Transitioning from Mumbai to Vancouver didn't involve a huge cultural shift, the environments felt surprisingly similar, so I didn't really face any significant challenges adapting. One important note for Professional Master's students is that scholarships are not offered, so that's something to consider. The locals are laid-back and tend to keep to themselves. Professors here are approachable and always willing to clarify any doubts regarding the coursework. The program is particularly beneficial for those looking to familiarize themselves with big data tools. While it doesn't explore advanced topics in great depth, there's always the opportunity to delve into these areas on your own time. Undertaking projects is highly recommended, as they significantly boost your chances of securing a job after graduation.

Reputed and Competitive School.

Tips: You will definitely see a cultural shift after coming here, but it is good that you will meet Indian people on campus. Being Master's student, you will not get any scholarships/allowances unless your masters programme is thesis. Being a TA or RA is the only option to earn money while working on-campus. The course curriculum is tough and you have to spend a good amount of time to pass with decent grades. SFU is a reputed university in BC, but it is on the expensive side when it comes to fees. It is better to save/manage finances and not think you can earn fees while doing part-time here. Vancouver is super costly and all you get to earn through part-time will be just enough for your monthly expenses. Don't worry, Once you get your internship/co-op you will start saving really good amount.

Supportive environment and fulfilling experience.

Tips: I have transitioned after coming here. Transitioning here involved cultural shifts like adjusting to new social norms, academic structures, peer groups etc., but support from peers and faculty made it manageable. For scholarship, I would recommend exploring all the options early on so it can be easier. Overall, I am satisfied with the university, course and experience here though there are a few areas that can be improved.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The professors are knowledgeable and approachable. They are easily accessible through office hours and email. Teaching style blends lectures with interactive methods like group discussions, projects etc., to make learning more engaging. The faculty is diverse with professors, teaching assistants and other staff from various countries.

Dislikes (Part time work): I rated part-time work a 3 because while opportunities exist, they aren't always plentiful or perfectly suited for every student. On-campus jobs like library assistant or dining hall staff are flexible and pay around 12-20 Dollars per hour making them easier to balance with studies. Off-campus jobs like retail, tutoring etc., offer more options and can pay 12-25 Dollars per hour but might be harder to manage due to longer hours and commute. I would recommend working 15-20 hours a week to manage both studies and job.

Can be a little challenging but worth it.

Tips: Students must review the courses properly before coming and selecting the specialisation they are most serious about, and focus on networking and making connections. The Co-Op search can be overwhelming sometimes, but the university portals offer plenty of opportunities and help you to streamline your application process.

Likes (Student Life): The atmosphere is great. You will make a lot of friends. The course loads will keep you occupied. The scenic Burnaby campus looks blissful in winter and you'll get to enjoy the beauty of British Columbia right from the mountains, with several mini hikes near the campus.

Dislikes (Value for money): The course expects you to pay for the term you do your Co-Op fee, which I felt was a downside. Apart from that the fees is similar to any other equally ranked top college in the country. The infrastructure and facilities the university has to offer are great.
