- Highly ranked in Computer Vision. Home of Professor Richard Zhang.,
- Diversity, Ranked Number 1 in cs rankings for Computer Vision. Inclusion of co-op which helps with connecting industrial skills and theory skills. Has Career Fairs which allows to network with professionals over the world
- Dislikes:
- The schedule gets stressful at times. You take a class at 8:30 and the next class is at 4 which doesn’t help if commuting. It’s situated on the mountain so at times the buses stop working if there is snow
Course Curriculum:
Very good curriculum. Goes through recent innovations in Computer Vision and also has an industrial component when it comes to coop.
Fees:
53000 CAD.
- Likes:
- Mandatory Co-Op, Good Data Science Curriculum, 1+ year of program.,
- I like the Overall Curriculum at SFU since this program teaches industry relevant subjects. Also, Co-Op Opportunities as a part of mandatory Co-Op term is what makes this program one of the best in Canada
- Dislikes:
- The only part I don’t like about Simon Fraser University is that we have to pay full Fees for Co-Op Term as well which should be avoided. Either it should be removed or amount should be reduced. Additionally, I think students must be motivated to pursue careers in same fields they have studied like Data Science, Visual Computing and not deviate
Course Curriculum:
The course is industry relevant and include subjects like big data, data science for business and modelling.
Fees:
Around 45000 CAD.
- Likes:
- Cheaper than USA and easy visa route than USA. So, this was my option.,
- Not all the courses are practical and some delve into too much theory. Since it is a professional course without a thesis option, I thought this was one downside. Professors may not be the best always."
- Dislikes:
- "Not all the courses are practical and some delve into too much theory. Since it is a professional course without a thesis option, I thought this was one downside. Professors may not be the best always."
Course Curriculum:
Courses are updated and relevant. Since it wasn't a thesis based program, there's a mix of theoretical and practical experience. The program has Big Data labs which help in getting experience in Python, data science, big data etc.
Fees:
45,000 CAD for 16 months
- Likes:
- I love the teaching methodology followed and the fact that it is the only university that provides this unique program in a face-to-face setting! The professors are really knowledgeable and helpful too.,
- It was the only university across the globe that offered this program and that too in a face to face setting.
- Dislikes:
- My university has three campuses with the one in Burnaby being the biggest and oldest. My classes are held at Surrey Campus, so I chose to stay close to it, however, I find that most of the events take place at Burnaby only.
Course Curriculum:
So far, I find the course syllabus to be quite aligned with the industry standards and requirements. I have the option to switch to an MA program wherein I'll be doing research, however, my current M.Ed program doesn't have a research component.
Fees:
It's about 2000 CAD per semester but with the miscellaneous charges, it adds up to to 2500 CAD. But it's different for all programs. Mine isn't a unit based program.
- Likes:
- Being able to access the course material through canva online and being able to submit assignments online
- Dislikes:
- Having to attend in person for tedious things like handing in specific assignments. Because of my long commute this was not ideal for me
Course Curriculum:
Kwantlen Polytechnic University in the Faculty of Science, I didn't opt for this due to its reputation. SFU was known to be more prestigious. Each class was between 2-4 credits, usually if the class was twice a week it would be a 4 credit class. It didn't add value to my academics because I didn't enjoy the program I completed. It caused me a great deal of stress which impacted me very severely. There was way more students than faculty at SFU. The average class size was around 400 with one professor and 1-3 teaching assistants.
Fees:
~$45,000 in total around $3,000 per semester plus $1000 in textbooks, I clicker etc. Payment was online. It wasn't affordable at all, coming straight out of high school I didn't have anywhere close to that money. I was able to get a loan.
Course Curriculum:
It is a 46 units of credit score.This course allows me to dive deeply into the various options of public health. You will get the diverse option when you enrolled in the course. The faculty people aare very friendy and we can easily approach them for all the information which we needed. We have a cohort size of 40 and teaching method delivered was through the discussion and the lectures.
Fees:
It is a 20-month program. I received the entry scholarship (2000 CAD) and the fee was 10500 CAD per year = 8500 per year, this is different from the other master's program in the SFU ( they are paying around 10000 CAD per term). Other than that, you have to pay for medical insurance. So fees wise, this is one of the best universities offering courses with minimum fees.
Course Curriculum:
Highly research-intensive which means high competition in classes
Fees:
35, 000 CAD as it's a research program.
Course Curriculum:
The course material is extremely relevant. During my first year, much of the material being taught is what had already been covered in my grade 11&12 ISC commerce and accounts classes. But, since then I have learned a lot and specialized in the fields relevant to me. Many professors try to bring speakers to the class or share their personal industry experiences with us. The various clubs at the university also host networking events that are open to all students and this gives us a chance to connect with industry professionals.
Fees:
Tuition expenses for 4 courses per semester (including insurance, but excluding housing): $12,000.
Course Curriculum:
It could definitely be a little more hands on. There were many times where I didn't learn much in some of the courses I took. If I wanted someone to read slides to me, I would have just stayed at home and looked at a powerpoint.
Fees:
We paid for our school fees at the start of every term, including activity fees, gym fees, and our bus passes.
Fees:
Fees for classes, extra materials, student union, athletic fee, U pass, and all the other basic charges other places charge.
The reason why I chose to go to this college is that it is close to the place I live and since it is a decent place to study. I also received a scholarship that influenced my choice. No other choices were influencing.
