Western University - UWO (reviews)

The most important reason for choosing this program is to make sure I can find a job that cannot be easily replaced by AI or Big Data. However, after 4 years of study, i realized that HR has no advantage over other field in business, even though it is a field of people.
In some countries like China, recruiters can easily access to the needed talents through a bank of resumes, by only entering the key words. This forces the entry level HR individuals to acquir more skills beyond HR to stay competitive in the market.

Western University is a one of a kind experience in Canada. It has a beautiful campus, and the student life is welcoming and extremely fun. The program i am in is Media and Communications, formerly Media, Information, and Technoculture. This degree provides me with theoretical understandings of media industries, as well as writing and project based learning.

Western as a whole is a good school for anyone looking to have that “university experience” in Canada. It is very easy to get involved in activities and clubs you like, easy to talk to the professors and land internships/research opportunities. Western’s political science program is thorough and offers a wide variety of courses students can take based on interest. However, the courses are mostly taught from a western liberal international lense so keep that in mind. Overall a good school and program.

The Faculty of Information Media excels in not only introducing students to crucial angles and aspects of media and communication studies, but also listens carefully to students to teach them about the aspects of culture they interact with regularly, allowing students to apply their learned skills to their preferred field immediately. The University promotes the growth of different communities not only through vast course selection, but through extracurriculars and an active student body as well. The winters are harsh, but it’s very easy to be kept busy.
