i am searching for the university to study msc computer science in canada. i have b.sc dgree in Computer Science/Physics at University of Nigeria Nsukka Nigeria.
If you want the best in Canada, the choice is easy: Rotman or Ivey. Some would consider Schulich among the best as well. You can forget McGill, UBC etc, don't waste your time.
For finance/i-banking, Rotman is probably stronger, although if you want to stay in Canada it really doesn't matter whether you go to Rotman or Ivey. Ivey's advantage (or disadvantage, depending on your view) is that it's only one-year. Yes, it's in a crappy town, but you'll only have to spend one year there, and I hear the nite life is great.
Maq,
what you are saying makes sense only for undergrad studies. Very different rules apply to graduate studies.
It would be naive for somebody to choose a graduate school based on somebody's else experience. However, it would be very wise to look at other people's experiences and views and see if what they are saying is just whining or there may be something more to it.
Very few research labs actually do useful work and prepare students for the industry/academia. One such lab is http://www.psi.utoronto.ca/ How do you choose what (grad) school to go to? Try "big guns" (those I mentioned in my previous post) - they have reputation to defend. Small players have nothing to defend and to them, you are only a number that they will use in their grant applications - they are only money masters (!).
dear sir
i have finished master of science in medical lab technology in clinical biochemistry. i want to p. hd . is there chance.............................
I have completed my MSc Innovative Technology in a University in London, and was looking for a scholarship in a good University in Canada or in the USA. I fluently speak French, English and have some basic of the German language. I also have considerable work experience in IT and would like to start my program in 2010.

Is Mac's business program (DeGroote) good?
How is the city of Hamilton in which the uni is located?
BTW, I am an international student. I have 4 universities on my list now - UWO(London), Mcmaster(Hamilton), Reyerson(Toronto), Dalhousie(Halifax).
I dont know much about either university (and would probably skip both). Does WLU offer graduate level programs in CS? If not, then it would be enough to disqualify it and in that case, I would choose the University of Windsor.
Acadia continues to have some innovative computer science programs. Besides Bachelor of Computer Science (BCS), there are BCS Specializations in E-Commerece, Environmental Informatics, and Mobile and Ubiguitous Computing. See cs.acadiau.ca
Comp. Sci. at Acadia is pretty good. I attended several years ago. Small class sizes, fair and informative profs, good prep for industry and grad school. I liked the being able to work on a significant research project and help to write a paper as an undergrad. .. Tim
hey people.
i wana do a MS in telecom. i have heard about two universities, windsor and alberta.

hi dis is anil from india.i want to do my m.s in canada.i am confused about which univ to choose?my academic percentages are ssc 86%,intermediate 81%,b.tech(cse) 70% and my ielts score is 6.5.so pls help which universities are best for me?pls give me list of five universities in ontario state?
I chose McGill over Queens, U-Toronto as well as McMaster. It was a great decision...The problem with University of Toronto is you are just a number... too big and too impersonal... Queens is all fluff with no diversity and a severly lacking graduate school.
McGill has problems too (budgetery mostly) but in the US it has a phenomenal reputation... as an example, when I called to inquire about applying to Harvard, the head of the admissions faculty to the grad program responded by saying: "We love receiving applicants from McGill... they are really strong". In the US, McGill is well known with a solid reputation, particularly in the Northeast... some 10-15% of Mcgill student body is american!
Ps. Waterloo is undeniably a great school for engineering though... even better than McGill... although Mcgill is no slouch either... this one year, a company from Boston came to mcgill and sucessfully recruited 80% of their graduating class in electrical engineering.
hi i am doing my 3rd year B.tech(Mechanical) in Regency Institute of Technology Yanam-under UT of pondicherry.now my aim is to go for space field.what i've to do after this B.tech whether i,ve to study more or what i can do to enter a spacefield.and if i,ve to study more,ie aeronautical is best suggest me
A good school is not only defined it's educational abilities, but also by how well its students perform after graduation, and the overall learning experience.
UofT and McGill are but situated in large cities, which means that students will receive a lot opportunities, social life and culture. This is a major upside.
Name is also very important, it's in fact the first thing an employer would look at. Needless to say UofT and McGill has the history and reputation. A lot of major companies are not based in Canada, as a result they care more about international reputation. Schools like Waterloo and Queens are relatively unknown.
Computer science might not be the best idea right now. One should always choose a major close to engineering. Such as computer and electrical engineering.
Computer wise, UofT and Waterloo is the most competitive. UofT of course has the advantages mentioned above, and Waterloo has the enticing co-op option.
Downsides:
UofT tends to be more traditional, they will teach you a lot of the theoretical stuff, since UofT's research area is supposedly one of the best in North America. You'll be going through a lot hardship. As informed by friends of mine. I cannot confirm nor deny of course
Waterloo is in a small town. Most of my friends who went to Waterloo complain about boredom. Many of my friends also feel that the co-op programs were not as good as they were led to believe, and that Waterloo seemed to sugar coat it to attract students. (I cannot confirm nor deny of course).
My personal advice? If you are given the choice, go with UofT. I heard that many companies go to UofT to hire students. Summer job opportunities are endless. Being in Toronto itself opens up your eyes. I would say the same for McGill, however the need to know the French language is a major down side.
hi,
I wanna know which out of Simon Fraser University and UNiversity of British Columbia is better for Computing Science for undergrads...????please reply soon ....
