University of Calgary Programs: Tuition fees, Ranking, Scholarships, Application Deadlines & Entry Requirements

The course curriculum is outstanding in my opinion. It is top-tier and well rounded. In my first yr, I get exposure to all branches of science, including physics, math, psychology, biology, neuroscience, chemistry, computer science, and more. The professors are amazing and genuinely care about their students, and want them to succeed. The curriculum itself is modern and covers a wide range of concepts, all of which are relevant to modern academia, and can be used to fulfill any grad school or professional school requirements. UofC is a top 10 school in Canada, and recognized internationally, so academics here is a strong suit.

I chose the University of Calgary because it offered a lot of perks. It has always been a dream of mine to go into medical school in Canada, and a strong undergrad program is an essential requirement. UofC Neuroscience is top-notch, and is a small cohort of highly motivated, intelligent individuals, as only 30 are accepted each year. It is ultra competitive, but worth it as I wanted to be with other like-minded people who were striving for the same goals as me. Additionally, this program has guaranteed research funding, and getting a research position is really simple ( a perk not offered in other science programs), so this definitely stuck out to me. Additionally, having an opportunity to do a Honours thesis on a field of neuroscience in my 4th yr sounded really cool to me.
