University of Calgary fees for Indian students at University of Calgary (UCalgary) use Canadian dollars (CAD) and Indian rupees (INR). Fees depend on course-rate groups, not one flat university price. Postgraduate tuition starts at CAD 29,960.70 (INR 20.35 Lakhs) for 33-unit course-based routes. The Haskayne Master of Business Administration costs CAD 98,079.22 (INR 66.61 Lakhs) for one year. Undergraduate tuition for a 30-unit year ranges from CAD 30,782.10 (INR 20.90 Lakhs) to CAD 41,487.30 (INR 28.17 Lakhs). The Master of Data Science and Analytics costs CAD 55,511.94 (INR 37.70 Lakhs) for 33 units.
Calgary housing changes the cost of studying more than small tuition differences. First-year residence with a 7-day meal plan starts at CAD 10,512 (INR 7.14 Lakhs) for eight months. Graduate residence in Crowsnest Hall starts at CAD 9,224 (INR 6.26 Lakhs) for a two-bedroom academic-term place.
A 12-month Master of Data Science and Analytics first-year budget reaches CAD 79,194.94 (INR 53.78 Lakhs). It uses Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) living funds. A 30-unit Bachelor of Science in Computer Science first-year budget reaches CAD 54,465.10 (INR 36.99 Lakhs). Exchange rate used: 1 Canadian dollar (CAD) = 67.91 Indian rupees (INR), dated 12 October 2026.

UCalgary bills many programmes per 3-unit course, so unit count controls the final fee structure. The tables separate course-rate programmes from the Haskayne Master of Business Administration.
Postgraduate course-based totals start at CAD 29,960.70 (INR 20.35 Lakhs). The Master of Business Administration has the largest single-year bill at CAD 98,079.22 (INR 66.61 Lakhs).
Tuition is calculated from published 2026/27 course rates unless a programme publishes a yearly rate.

Undergraduate tuition for a 30-unit year starts at CAD 30,782.10 (INR 20.90 Lakhs). Engineering is higher because Schulich courses use fee group C.
Undergraduate tuition is charged per 3-unit course. The 30-unit year uses ten courses.
| Programme | Duration | Published tuition (CAD and INR) | Indicative full-course tuition (CAD and INR) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bachelor of Science in Computer Science | 4 years, 120 units | CAD 3,078.21 (INR 2.09 Lakhs) per 3-unit course | CAD 123,128.40 (INR 83.62 Lakhs) |

Note: UCalgary’s tuition fees follow the faculty that offers each course. A Computer Science student taking Business or Engineering courses can see a different term bill.
UCalgary approved a 5% international tuition rise for 2027/28. Fall 2027 planning should rerun totals when the new calendar rates publish.

Key Insight: Fall 2027 will move to the 2027/28 fee year if rates publish before registration. A Group A 30-unit year would rise by about CAD 1,539.10 (INR 1.05 Lakhs).
Calgary living expenses can sit below the IRCC proof figure in residence. Visa files still need the IRCC living-funds threshold.
| Expense | Monthly (CAD) | Monthly (INR) | Annual (INR) | Notes for Indian Students |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| First-year double residence with 7-day meal plan | CAD 1,314 (INR 89,238) | INR 89,238 | INR 7.14 Lakhs | Eight-month academic term, food included. |
| First-year single residence with 5-day meal plan | CAD 1,795.50 (INR 1.22 Lakhs) | INR 1.22 Lakhs | INR 9.75 Lakhs | Higher privacy, still meal-plan based. |
| Graduate Crowsnest studio | CAD 1,397.25 (INR 94,893) | INR 94,893 | INR 7.59 Lakhs | Eight-month furnished academic-term housing. |

Note: The IRCC threshold is a visa test, not a Calgary rent average. UCalgary residence can cost less, but the study permit file still needs CAD 23,448 (INR 15.92 Lakhs).
Fall 2027 applicants should treat residence as a cash-flow decision before private leases. The May 1 residence guarantee date is earlier than many visa decisions.
Currency Tip: Fall 2027 tuition and residence payments share September fee timing. A forex card or Flywire route can save 2% to 3% against a raw wire transfer.
The first-year budget starts near CAD 54,465.10 (INR 36.99 Lakhs). That applies to Group A undergraduate study with IRCC living funds.
The Master of Data Science and Analytics is the worked example because it is a 12-month, Indian-relevant technology route.
| Scenario | Tuition | Living | Mandatory Fees | Total Year 1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BSc Computer Science, 30-unit first year | CAD 30,782.10 (INR 20.90 Lakhs) | CAD 23,448 (INR 15.92 Lakhs) | CAD 235 (INR 15,959) | CAD 54,465.10 (INR 36.99 Lakhs) |

The Master of Data Science and Analytics reaches CAD 79,194.94 (INR 53.78 Lakhs) for the first year. A INR 50,00,000 loan would need roughly INR 65,000 to INR 70,000 monthly over 10 years at 10.5%.
Key Insight: The CAD 20,000 (INR 13.58 Lakhs) entrance scholarship can cut a Group A undergraduate first-year tuition bill by about 65%. Submit Prestige Awards before 1 December 2026 for the Fall 2027 cycle.
Fall 2027 funding is strongest for undergraduate entrants. Course-based postgraduate applicants should not assume automatic tuition awards.

Compare UCalgary scholarship options before submitting Fall 2027 forms
Tip for Indian Students: The 1 December 2026 Prestige Awards deadline is the first major Fall 2027 funding gate. Missing it removes the CAD 20,000 (INR 13.58 Lakhs) entrance-scholarship route.
UCalgary lists a CAD 5,000 (INR 3.40 Lakhs) international admission deposit for undergraduate offers. The deposit is non-refundable and reduces first-year tuition.
UCalgary names Flywire as the preferred international payment platform. The same payment page also lists Canadian banking and CIBC Student Pay availability.
Source: UCalgary offer finalisation, Registrar payment page, and fee deadlines.
Note: Fall 2027 offer letters control the deposit deadline. Send funds several banking days earlier because UCalgary counts the posted payment date.
Fall 2027 families need CAD 5,235 (INR 3.56 Lakhs) before tuition balance planning. That covers deposit, study permit fee, and biometrics.
A minimum pre-arrival cash stack is CAD 5,380 (INR 3.65 Lakhs) before tuition balance. It includes the CAD 5,000 (INR 3.40 Lakhs) deposit and CAD 145 (INR 9,847) application fee. It also includes CAD 150 (INR 10,187) for the study permit and CAD 85 (INR 5,772) for biometrics.
Budget approximately INR 4.00 Lakhs to INR 6.00 Lakhs for first-year hidden costs before travel purchases.
Source: UCalgary application fee, offer finalisation, Nursing fees page, and IRCC fee list.
Note: The missed cost is usually not the visa fee. It is the CAD 5,000 (INR 3.40 Lakhs) deposit, because it falls before the family sees the full term bill.
The highest saving for Fall 2027 is the CAD 20,000 (INR 13.58 Lakhs) undergraduate entrance scholarship. It beats small rent differences in first-year planning.
Canada’s Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) can run from 8 months to 3 years. Master’s graduates may receive up to 3 years under current IRCC rules.

Tip for Indian Students: A CAD 20,000 (INR 13.58 Lakhs) award can cut Group A first-year tuition sharply. The remaining tuition becomes CAD 10,782.10 (INR 7.32 Lakhs).
UCalgary is worth the cost when first-year funding is secure. The university is ranked 211 in Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Rankings 2026.
The Master of Data Science and Analytics first-year budget is CAD 79,194.94 (INR 53.78 Lakhs). A INR 50,00,000 education loan means roughly INR 65,000 to INR 70,000 monthly over 10 years at 10.5%.
Calgary strengthens the value case through energy, data, public policy, and engineering labour-market access. This is an inference from the programme mix and city economy, not a guaranteed salary outcome.

Key Insight: Fall 2027 is financially stronger for undergraduate applicants who meet the 1 December 2026 scholarship deadline. For course-based master’s applicants, the safer benchmark is a fully funded first-year budget.
University of Calgary fees need course-rate budgeting, not a single headline number. Fall 2027 applicants should hold CAD 54,465.10 (INR 36.99 Lakhs) for a Group A undergraduate first year. Master of Data Science and Analytics needs CAD 79,194.94 (INR 53.78 Lakhs). The CAD 20,000 (INR 13.58 Lakhs) entrance scholarship can change the undergraduate decision before 1 December 2026. A INR 50,00,000 loan means roughly INR 65,000 to INR 70,000 monthly over 10 years.

Considering the brand new nature of my program, I believe it is very relevant. The course content focuses on current issues in the real world rather than ones from a decade ago when the world was much different.

It is extensive, elaborative and it is stressful. It is according to the licensure requirements. There will be a lot of research experience that comes from conferences, RAship, paper publications etc.
Tuition Fee: 20,000 CAD for 2 years including tuition and general fees.

Her coursework is updated, specifically in graduate-level courses. I have seen many professors teaching with the help of recent research papers. The instructor gives some application-based problems in the assignments. I would say its much better but not easy.
Tuition fee: For my program, the annual fee is 15000 CAD
My courses are hard but very helpful. They have updated syllabus.

I am pretty much content with the course syllabus. They are covering the topics that are helpful to the graduates.
For a year it is approximately 12 lakhs. There is a chance that it will increase in the coming years though since the demand for seats is increasing.
