Concordia is a large, urban university, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The university has two campuses, set approximately 7 km apart: Sir George Williams Campus is in the downtown core of Montreal, and Loyola Campus is in the residential west-end of Montreal. They are connected by a free shuttle-bus service for students, faculty and staff.

Although founded in 1974, the university traces its academic roots back to the early 20th century, with the development of the Jesuit-run Loyola College and the YMCA-based Sir George Williams University.

The School of Graduate Studies was established to provide students, faculty and administrators with a team that could guide them through the academic and administrative components of Concordia's graduate programs. From the time of admission to graduation, graduate programs are governed by standards and practices that are integral to ensuring an educational experience that is academically challenging and rewarding.

The staff and academics at the School provide students with graduate awards and fellowships assistance and information; thesis formatting and defence guidelines; and ensure that the academic code of conduct is respected at all times. The School offers assistance to graduate programs with scheduling doctoral defences, thesis binding; adjudicating graduate awards and liaising with external agencies; all aspects of student affairs, standards for graduate admissions, curriculum planning, new program development, to name a few.

Faculty

Number of Faculty Staff	Headcount: 1,993 FTE: 1,300
Total number of academic faculty staff who are responsible for planning, directing and undertaking teaching only, research only or both teaching and research. Please include: vice-chancellors, deputy vice-chancellors, principals, professors, heads of school, associate professors, principal lecturers, tutors or postdoctoral researchers. Please exclude research assistants, PhD students who contribute to teaching, and exchange scholars or visiting faculty staff who are members of another university. The important distinction for us is that staff counted as 'research only' should be academically involved in that research and should be likely to publish research outputs. A research assistant, in our understanding, is any individual who is not doing own research and is therefore not likely to publish own research outputs. Said individual is (only) involved in research in terms of operation execution , such as lab technician or equipment operator.
Number of International Faculty Staff	Headcount: 168 FTE: 93
Number of academic faculty staff who are of foreign nationality. The term 'international' is hereby determined by citizenship. For EU countries, this includes all foreign nationals, even if from another EU state. In Hong Kong, this includes professors from Mainland China. Inclusion and exclusion mirrors those for academic faculty staff. In case of dual citizenship, the 'deciding' criteria should be 'citizenship obtained through birth', basically first passport obtained.
Number of Inbound Visiting Faculty Staff	Headcount: 13
Number of academic faculty staff contributing to teaching or research at your university in the last 12 months who are visiting from an overseas institution for a minimum period of at least 3 months.
