It was well known and I was already in London, Ontario pursuing another course at Fanshawe College. That’s one of the major reasons I chose to go with this university
Course Curriculum
It is pretty updated and lies more towards the current industry trend. All the projects were pretty close to what you would do in a typical workplace and gave an insight on how your work will be. Projects involved learning new softwares that are currently used in the industry. Overall, it was pretty good.
Exams
Admission conditions : 4 years undergraduate degree (preferably mechanical engineering) Minimum 70% in undergraduate IELTS minimum of 6 Overall with no band below 6 My scores : IELTS 7.5 overall Listening : 8.0 Writing : 6.5 Speaking 7.5 Reading : 8.0
Placement
The post study placement is pretty good as long as you have done something considerable during your university education. Networking is pretty good, they have resume and LinkedIn profile rating/guidance services available for free. They conduct a lot of webinars to help you connect with people from the industry. Median salary depends on the experience you have in hand. On an average it is around 50,000 CAD/year.
Internship
No, I did not do any internships
Fees
Around 41,000 CAD
Scholarship
No scholarship
Faculty
The faculty to student ratio varies depending on the course you take for each term. Generally speaking, it would be around 12-18 members in a class. Professors are pretty good at getting back to you if you have questions. Ideal response time is around a day or two for any emails sent.
Campus Life
Not much Extracurricular activities due to COVID. But, there were clubs such as the rocketry club which met virtually and they worked on designing a rocket. Campus has wifi. Research support is incredible in the university. There were a lot of workshops that were conducted to enhance the knowledge, some of them were free and some of them were at a discounted price.
Hostel
Not sure about the in campus accommodation. I chose to live outside as it was much cheaper. University also offers off campus housing which you can rent for around 800-1000 CAD/month for a single bedroom apartment.
