本人在NZ刚念完Honours Bachelor, 正在考虑赴加读Master,有了之前选专业走了歪路的经验,这回很想问问在加拿大读大学的前辈,尤其是在Victoria大学念Master的...

我在NZ念的时Telecommunication,是电脑网络通信,课程设置挺有点杂乱的,Programming,Networking,硬件,数学物理都涵盖了,弄得我很郁闷,哎...

想请问要是我想去加拿大读电脑类专业的话,前辈们有没有选大学和专业的经验?那间大学有优势?

另外,其实本人心里面有点想去Victoria大学读CS的Master,因为看到评价说维大的综合评分不错的,同时我也发现加拿大不同大学的Comp Sci Master的学费差别挺大的,因为还在花爸妈的血汗钱,所以我很想确认一下,维大的CS Master学费每年是大概6000加币么?

Thank you very much indeed.

看专业吧，6000是底价，上升空间很大。而且不同专业差别很大，还是直接问学校比较好。

嗯,我是想先大概知道然后觉得可以接受才问学校确认一下,没人在读维大的CS Master吗?

1。$6000真的是一个很基本的价钱，而且我相信那也是给移民或公民身份的学生的价钱，如果你只是留学生的话，估计是当地学生3倍或以上的价格。

2。Uvic在全国的综合类学校的排名还行，但是CS Master的知名度并不是很响。我在别的网站上看到加拿大大学专业类的排名表，希望能给你点信息。

Discipline	University
Biology/Biological Sciences	Acadia University University of New Brunswick Dalhousie University University of Regina McMaster University University of Saskatchewan Mt Allison University University of Victoria Ryerson Polytechnic University University of Waterloo University of Alberta University of Windsor University of British Columbia
Biotechnology/Life Sciences	McGill University Queen's University University of Calgary University of Lethbridge York University
Computer Science	Acadia University University of New Brunswick Dalhousie University University of Ottawa McGill University University of Toronto Ryerson Polytechnic University University of Waterloo University of British Columbia University of Western Ontario University of Calgary University of Windsor University of Guelph York University University of Manitoba
Engineering (Electrical, Chemical, Civil and Mechanical)	Carleton University University of Alberta Concordia University University of British Columbia Dalhousie University University of Calgary Lakehead University University of Guelph McGill University University of Ottawa McMaster University University of Toronto Memorial University University of Waterloo Queen's University University of Windsor Ryerson Polytechnic University
Medicine/Pharmacology	Memorial University Queen's University University of Alberta University of British Columbia University of Western Ontario

3。越好的大学当然入学门槛越高，学费也越高。要记住选择权总是在学校，而不在你，Master要看你之前学历的平均成绩，GRE和英语考试成绩，教授和雇主的推荐信也很重要。优胜劣汰这个规则是总在的。

另外我在NZ读的是Honours Bacheor,成绩还不错的,拿了1st class,只是不知道有没有用.其实我从Uvic的Comp Sci Dept网页上面也大概看出来Uvic好像CS方面不怎么样,只是想到在别的大学上面看到那些学费就感到有点害怕,毕竟自己到现在还是无产阶级...

嗯，那看来UVic的CS master至少还是有他学费上的优势的。如果你的成绩都很好，足以进入更好的大学深造，只是担心学费的负担的话，这的确是你一个“鱼与熊掌”的取舍选择。“好的大学”还是“较低的学费”！有几点小建议给你：

1。我倒有一个在University of Ottawa的CS master毕业的校友。如果你有关于这个专业这方面问题的话，我可以介绍你们认识，这样你可以直接问他。

2。读CS master的学生有些在读的时候都能申请到助教，我另外一个在University of Ottawa的好朋友，他那时候作助教，一个小时有35块咧。相信对你的学费负担有一定的帮助。

3。Uvic虽然计算机名胜并不响亮，但是毕竟在综合类大学排名里还是可以的。所以这个学校的证书拿出去，还是“有面子”的。

谢谢版主,我也打算要是能申请到那边的大学的话,就继续打工赚钱了,平时每周20小时,然后假期不回国的话,估计够帮补很多学费和生活费了,反正也就两年时间.

要是不介意的话,我只想知道你朋友在Ottawa读研大概每年学费多少就可以了,其实自己对好点的大学还是有点向往的,听听也好,哈哈.
申请助教估计成绩要很好的,估计这就扯不上我了.

我的邮箱: starschild@live.com,他要是不嫌烦的话就告诉我个每年学费数字就行了,哈哈,我不会打扰他的. ~^-^~

Cheers!
