Master of Data Science and Analytics - Batch of 2023
4.1
Amazing city to be in and university is a great place to get a world exposure
Tips: I attended University of Calgary for Masters in Data Science and Analytics course. The course structure was good but when it comes to instructors for this course some are good but some are average. Also given it is a one year course it is fast-paced and you'll have a lot of assignments every week along with the projects and other deadlines. Lastly, internship is an important part of the program and don't expect the university to find one for you. You need to take the initiative to find your internship. Overall University has a good infrastructure and has all the facilities available for students. Also, Calgary is affordable when it comes to living expenses and safety is great.

Master of Science in Computer Science - Batch of 2022
4.6
Extraordinary experience. Very good college
Tips: The weather was so bad . So be careful and don't sit idle at free time, do some work. The part time jobs are more at that place so do any part time job . You will earn more money if you join in any IT field so be careful that you join in IT internship only.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): Once you settle in that place your life will be easier. If you settle in the country you will earn more money by regular periods. Time changes the money you get, and will be increased if you get permanent membership that is green card if you stay more years.
Dislikes (Value for money): The work you do and the money you get will not be sufficient. You will get money only if you join in any IT field. If you choose any other field you get the money but not enough. The prices of goods and any products will be slightly higher.

Master of Science in Civil Engineering - Batch of 2019

It has lowest fees, beautiful city and great university
Tips: Having good academic scores in previous study and at least 7 bands in IELTS with relatively experience if there is gap between admission. Calgary has good opportunities for work after studies and especially for civil engineering students there is least competition.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): In Alberta there is PNP program available so, it gives benefit to international students. Also in Calgary there is lot of corporate offices and MNC companies are available, they recruit students directly from universities for working as intern or full time employees.
Dislikes (Part time work): In this pandemic time everyone has lost their jobs and work , hence it takes time to heal that situation. While overcoming this COVID-19 situation every student has to work for their expenses and fees even after studying online. That's why students have to suffer for initial 3-4 months.
