buddy i warned u about this msc thing before but you did't listond its my advise for the future always try for Meng if you need to get an admission else find a supervisor n then apply for Masc

 

[adnan_wns]

@ zippy
I have already done MEngg so it does not make any sense of doing it again

thats why I applied in MASc and PhD

If they will not offer me admission then I will try in other universities

@zippy

I chose UofR because my two siblings live in Regina. They both applied in MASc program and got admission without consulting any supervisor

My brother did B.Engg in Electronics and admitted in MASc in Process Systems Engineering
similarly my sister did B.Engg in Civil and admitted in MASC in Environmental System Engineering

now when I applied, they have rejected me

why????

because I did not hire a supervisor

WRONG

may be because I did B.Engg in Electornics and M.Engg in Electronics and then I applied in
MASc Software system engg.

I think I should have applied in MASc Electronics System Engg.

this is the only reason that I can understand

and now I am ready for the rejection of PhD(Electronic System Engg.) because I don't have research background, usually they prefer MASc for PhD program.

your point is right for UofA not for UofR

I don't think I need further explanation in this regard.

 

[zippy]

best of Luck
you might get admission in that ,you should not lose hope

 

[zippy]

[Saqib053]

[adnan_wns]

my sister went to regina for fall 2009 session and brother took admission in winter 2010 :S

 

[adnan_wns]

is it a good university?? i want to get admission in this universiiyt

frankly speaking its not a good or not bad university. Its an average or medium size university as compared to uni. of Toronto and uni. of waterloo

so It depends on your luck and previous academic results

I cant say further instead of saying BEST OF LUCK

 

[JS]

Is it better than Univ of Winsder?

Also, is it comparable with Concordia?

adnan i got admission for MEng electronics For MAsc u need to hire a supervisor,

U dont hire a supervisor unless u pay for Him! u need a supervisor as an advisor, u dont hire him, u need to select one and if he is willing to take u on!

 

[abelkwh]

U of Regina is a very small university and ranking wise, its not the top of the list in the world or in Canadian Uni rankings, but its OK, for a university education.

Some of u may not have been admitted to the Masters program cause for Research masters program, u will need to find an advisor or a supervisor before u apply for it and then once the supervisor is willing to take u On then u apply and the probability of success will be higher. Unless u apply for the coursework masters program, then admission is easier cause u dont need a supervisor and its based entirely on yr undergraduate degree, where u graduated, what yr GPA is (usually above 3.0 to 3.3 on a 4 pt scale, which is around 75% average or higher) then, also yr ILETS or TOEFL scores and also yr GRE if its required. So admissions to the Masters program are a combination of the above.

If yr undergraduate degree if from a Canadian or US uni then its much easier cause they are able to assess it based on the North american system but if yr degree is from a developing country, like China or India, or elsewhere, then they will be more stringent on the admission process.

Just to clarify, i am speaking from the admissions office point of view cause i have worked in US and Canadian universities admission office and this is basically how they are assessed.
