1. Why study Electrical Engineering in Canada?
Low fee
To attract international students, the Government of Canada sponsors and invests a large budget for most universities. Therefore, you do not need to worry about tuition fees when studying in Canada. The average tuition fee per year ranges from 16,000 CAD to 25,000 CAD for the undergraduate level. More specifically, in some states such as Manitoba and Saskatchewan, the school has a policy of refunding tuition fees up to 60% after students graduate.
Great opportunity to settle down
You are fully capable of staying in Canada to work within 3 years after completing a college or university training program. In addition, you can also apply for permanent residence if you have accumulated working time for more than 1 year.
Some provinces have their own policies on immigration, for example in British Columbia and Ontario, those pursuing a master's degree in Applied Science. If students get a job after graduation, they will be allowed to reside in Canada.
High salary
Compared to other industries, the salary of Electrical Engineering is about 52% higher, ranging from 60,000 CAD to 100,000 CAD/year.
2. What is required of an Electrical Engineering student
• Having technical background: Engineering is the application of scientific principles (Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, etc.) to practice designing and manufacturing. Therefore, students need to understand the basic knowledge related to learning and practice more conveniently.
• Have patience: From theory to practice is a long way. Many students have difficulty applying what they have learned. As a result, having to perform countless experiments on a regular basis was inevitable. Therefore, perseverance and not being discouraged is a must-have qualities for Electrical Engineering students.
• Careful, meticulous: The industry's products are widely used in daily life. Therefore, every detail of the product must be carefully considered and calculated to ensure the safety of the user and avoid possible damage.
3. Industry career prospects
In any economy, the Engineering sector is always the pillar of society's development. Therefore, professions in the field of engineering always have a large demand for human resources and high income.
Canada is one of the world's leading engineering schools. Engineering degrees from these universities are highly regarded globally. Thereby, you can see that the career prospects when studying in Canada in Electrical Engineering are great. In Canada, fresh graduates can work immediately in any province. In Vietnam, the Engineering sector always has a high and stable demand for human resources.
Some occupations you can refer to:
