Overview

Unity in Diversity was the foremost reason of choosing this university. Completing higher education in India is not a big deal, but most of the students do not know what to choose as their profession. U of A has the first year as qualifying year. It gives us an opportunity to understand the subjects in depth and that makes more clear about the specific field. I was pretty sure about the computing field but the grades and understanding in the MATLAB (which I did for the first time) made it more clear that I was right ! I belong to a small pilgrimage place, Dakor from Kheda district in Gujarat. Studying in the only English school in whole district, I got ample of opportunities in every field because of the higher illiteracy rates around my hometown. I am glad that I am here with the grace of God and surely, the dedication and hard work of my parents.

Fees

It is CAD 27000 for the first year known as the qualifying year. For my course I mentioned in the second year, it has raised to approximately CAD 31000 ! Ample of options for scholarships but most of them are for the the first nations. For international students, the best chance to get scholarships are while applying for the university. They offer $500 scholarship to the new coming students but there is a deadline to apply for that and it is too early. Like I applied a bit late for the university so I was not eligible to apply for scholarship. If you are trying the Sept intake 2019, then deadline might be December 22, 2018 ! Almost a year ahead. So, plan early and apply for scholarship before hand if you are pretty sure that you want to study in the University of Alberta.

Overview

I heard from friends that it was one of the best colleges for engineering in Canada, websites that I researched confirmed this so I applied and got accepted quickly. The admission process was simple, they just needed basic information and my grades. I had a 90%+ average in grade 12 so I got in easily.

Fees

The total fees if you decide to live on residence are around $36,000 CAD. I did not pursue a loan so I can not name any agencies. There are many scholarships available although I do not know any by name. The amounts and criteria vary quite a bit between them. However, there is something for everyone.

FAQs


Ques. What do I need to get admission into University of Alberta and also get a scholarship?

● Top Answer By Riya Kapoor on 11 Jan 21

Ans. If you do some research, you’ll find that University of Alberta has an easy-seeming acceptance rate of 51% . But here’s the catch, this rate varies with your program choice and many other things that you should keep in mind. Acceptance rate here varies with subjects, some courses are easy to get into while some have cutthroat competition.  Like all major universities, the enrollment here heavily depends upon splendid grades, test scores and completion of required subjects. Plus, if you’re an international student then you will need to be extra special so that they have a good reason to take you in. Deciding Factors For Admission: Factors like research projects and publications play a huge role Impressive SOPs and genuine LORs are very important to stand out  GPA: Im Fall 2018, 70% of the students entering Faculty of Science had a grade average of 85 and higher English Proficiency: TOEFL iBT score of 100+ with a minimum 20 in each subsequent section is recommended A GRE score of 315 and above is just next to excellent. (For PG admissions) 155+ in the quantitative section of the GRE and a 4.0 in analytical ensures that you make up for any loopholes in your application Scholarships for Internationals:  While Alberta has plenty of scholarships, they are not all available to international students. The university provides many merit-based scholarships to accomplished internationals which will make your competition tougher.  Scholarships are of different kinds and usually have different requirements. You will need an application for some of these. Mostly, these are merit and talent based and there’s cutthroat competition for these so you need to prepare really well to be eligible for these.  Around 17,130 students received 87 million CAD worth of scholarships in 2017. Interests and previous experiences are an important deciding factor in the awarding of these scholarships so make sure you prepare accordingly.Read more

To be considered for transfer admission into a Master's program, you will need to demonstrate that you have completed relevant coursework and have the necessary academic background and skills required for the program. You may also need to meet specific admission requirements and prerequisites for the program, such as having a certain GPA or completing certain courses. I suggest you to reach out to the admissions office for guidance and support.
