The admission process included filling out a Supplementary Information Form(SIF). This form had questions related to work experience and educational background related to this course. Other than that, an IELTS score was required. There was no requirement for a GRE score. We also submitted 2 LORs(one professional and one academic) and an SOP. I prepared all the documents on my own. It took around 2-3 hours to fill out the admission form online.
Course Curriculum :
Each student has to complete a minimum of 8 courses of 1.0 credits each. These courses can be completed in 3-4 terms. The courses included advanced computer science concepts which added value to the profile. Each course had around 60 students enrolled in a term. So, the faculty-to-student ratio was 1:60. Regular assignments and quizzes were given to assess the students. There were also mid-term and end-term exams and some courses also included projects.
Placement :
There's no system of campus placements for Graduate students. Students need to find jobs on their own. There's a job portal provided by the university which helps to find potential jobs. However, the students need to prepare themselves for the specific roles they target.

This course is quite expensive in terms of the academic fee. It costs around $15k for 1 term(4 months). Students are expected to self-fund their education as there are no scholarships for this program.

Campus Life :
The student life is very good. There are plenty of recreational opportunities. The sports facility is really top-notch. The student clubs organize various events throughout the year. Libraries are really good and provide a calm space for study and work.
Hostel :
I did not stay in campus housing. Instead, I was living in an apartment close to the university. Usually, students find good accommodation near the campus. The food, grocery, and other expenses depend upon the student. On average, you can consider the additional expense of around $150-250 per month on top of the rent.
