 When it comes to mining and engineering education, Canadian universities are among some of the best in terms of their education and job prospects after graduation. And based on the 2021 report for the four-year outlook for the Canadian mining industry employment report forecast, two of the three scenarios expected the Canadian mining industry to employ at least 200,000 people, while the third scenario still expects at least 190,000 people to be employed. In comparison to other engineering disciplines in Canada, mining has been slowly seeing decline in enrolments, which could mean an opportunity for foreigners to backfill those spots and provide the incoming talent pipeline to feed the future growth of the labour pool. In order to do that, you'll likely need to get a degree at a Canadian university, and in this video we'll go over the best Canadian universities for a career in mining engineering. So starting in Vancouver is the University of British Columbia, or UBC for short. UBC is known as one of the top three universities in Canada overall, and consistently ranks within the top 40 schools worldwide, which also gives it a strong global reputation. For a four-year bachelor's degree, applicants transferring from another post-secondary institution must possess an overall average of 65% in their grades and an average of 70% in all of chemistry, math, and physics courses. The total four-year tuition costs for domestic students is around $35,000 Canadian dollars, and for international students, it is around $223,000 Canadian dollars. For a master's degree, students usually take an average of two years to complete their degree, equaling $42,000 in fees. Applicants must have a minimum average of 76% or a B+, and they must also have taken their English language test within the last 24 months at the time you submit your application. So for the TOEFL, you'll need an overall score of 90, and specifically you'll need a 22 in reading, 21 in writing, 21 in speaking, and 22 in listening. For the IELTS, you'll need an overall score of 6.5 and 6.0 in each of the subject area. While UBC students are well known for their placement in coal mines and mineral processing jobs, graduates have gone on to work at other open pit and underground mines. TOEFL in BC is the British Columbia Institute of Technology, or BCIT for short. BCIT's campus is located in Burnaby, BC, which is a municipality in the Greater Vancouver area. A four-year bachelor's degree costs 90,000 Canadian dollars, and requires an overall IELTS score of 6.5 and a TOEFL internet-based overall score of 86.0. BCIT also offers a two-year diploma in mineral exploration and mining technology for a price of 38,000 dollars, but they do not offer any master's program. The next school is the University of Alberta, or U of A for short. U of A is especially known for their placement in their oil sands, due to their close proximity to the oil sands mine, such as Suncor or Syncrude or CNRL, but they also place well in other mines around Canada. For domestic students, the bachelor's degree costs 39,000 Canadian dollars, and for international students it will cost 158,000 dollars. For a course-based master's, assuming you take the two years to complete the program, it will cost 15,000 Canadian dollars, and for a thesis-based master's program it will cost 17,400 dollars. The academic transfer requirements will differ between countries, but if you're from India, you need 60% first-class standing or a B grade. You also need a total score of 90 for the TOEFL, with at least 21 in each of the skilled area, and a minimum of 6.5 on the IELTS, with at least 6.0 on each test band. So that's it for this video.
