University Of Calgary, Calgary Ranking 2024 from QS, THE & US NEWS

Don’t know much as I haven’t visited the university for more than 2 times as courses are online which is not giving a good amount of exposure and knowledge about campus and things supposed to be happening in the university .

No

It is fairly competitive. It honestly depends on the market and economic conditions at the time you are applying for jobs but the key is to stay focused and driven and not give up even if nothing seems to be working initially.

I am currently working as an intern with SKF Canada on a 16-month work term.

My domain is Artificial intelligence and it is currently a trending topic with a lot of influx of investment in my province. The prospects look good but there is no concept of campus placement in Canada. Here you have to apply on your own and have references if possible. Build your professional network and actually be knowledgeable to get a job.

No, I didn't get an internship.

Career fairs and different events take place throughout the year. Some professors also help with placement depending on your relationship with them.

No, as my program is research-based.

There are several research placements, internships, and work-study placements one can do. I believe starting salaries are atleast $1500 CAD per month, however it is possible to earn more. I am not too sure about the actual placement processes and companies that recruit, however being a top-tier school, I'm assuming high-class companies are the ones recruiting.

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.

NA

I chose it because it's a very prestigious university, the fees are less as compared to other equally good ones and I have family in Calgary.

It's good.

No, we were not allowed to do so.

Alumni are working in really good companies around the world. We have job fairs.

I will be applying for one this year.

The placement process in the North American region is quite different than in India. There is no such on-campus placement. You have to apply to open positions and get hired.

I chose this school as it was close to my home and very convenient as I got to live at home with my family. Admissions are relatively easy as you submit all the information that they prompt you to submit, and wait until you hear back from them about acceptance. The application fee was fairly standard with other schools, at I believe around $75.
