What Our Graduates Say

★ ★ ★ ★ ★
"I couldn’t have done it without the amazing staff"
Amazing experience all around. From admissions all the way through to career coaching, I was treated fairly, spoken to politely and always encouraged to strive for better while nurturing any progress I had already made. The teaching staff work tirelessly to ensure that you are producing your best quality work, holding you alone responsible for your success. As a long time procrastinator, the timeline that the course creates is manageable but not overly demanding. I graduated with honors and couldn't have done it without the amazing staff at the Centre for Distance Education.

"Helped to make life-changing decision easier"
Staff was always reachable for literally any questions I had. They helped me consider my unique situation and guided me through this complicated process. Especially considering that this is my first-time postgraduate study in Canada. During the admissions process, I was given very well organized support, and I had a clear understanding of what to expect for the next two years. It made decision-making much easier. Thank you!
