Concordia University
Overview
COVID-19 Information: https://www.concordia.ca/covid19info.html
Concordia is an English-language university in the heart of the world-class city of Montreal, Canada. From classroom to lab, in our libraries and on our streets, the Concordia community is resolutely anchored to the real world — open and engaged, compassionate and caring. We are recognized for our flexible approach to learning, and for our commitment to examining societal issues from a broad perspective in our teaching and research. It’s an approach that is rooted in Concordia’s founding in 1974, which brought together Loyola College (1896) and Sir George Williams University (1926).
Nearly 48,000 students are pursuing their educational and research goals at Concordia. The University is made up of four Faculties (Arts and Science, Fine Arts, the Gina Cody School of Engineering and Computer Science and the John Molson School of Business), a School of Graduate Studies and a Centre for Continuing Education. We encourage our students to become active, critical and concerned citizens in order to enrich the world’s wealth of knowledge, bridge communities and, most importantly, grow and contribute. We call our approach “next-generation” — examining the issues of the day and seizing opportunities with a diversity of thought and an openness of spirit.
Our philosophy includes complementing classroom time with practical, real-life experience. It means being engaged in research opportunities, athletics, professional networking, alumni mentoring and more. It also means being connected to friends and dedicated professors in a remarkable urban environment that will make students feel right at home.

RESEARCH CENTERS
Flight simulators, hydraulics and machine-tool labs, chemistry labs, are only a few of the places where you'll learn the fundamentals and gain confidence in your ability to create new knowledge and technology. Join one of Concordia’s 22 research units, who provide research and training in areas as diverse as preventive health, synthetic biology, human rights and digital arts. Discover our research units.
MAKERSPACES
Bring your vision from inspiration to reality in sun-drenched ateliers and high-tech studios. We’ve got tools: a kiln, a loom, a 3D printer, a welding torch, a lithography press. Or maybe you’re designing and building a satellite or a drone. Discover our Fine Arts equipment that will push the limits of your creativity and ingenuity.
EXHIBITION AND PERFORMANCE
Our galleries and theatres offer unparalleled opportunities to reach a public audience. Discover our arts and culture hub.
STARTUP INCUBATOR
If you have a great business idea, District 3 can help you make it happen. Pitch your ideas, build prototypes and collaborate with business strategists, engineers and creative people. You’ll benefit from the expertise, networks and encouragement of your very own mentors. Visit District 3.
READING ROOMS
Our Grey Nuns Reading room is a gorgeous chapel converted into an awe-inspiring study space. The Webster Library is characterized by natural sunlight, vibrant colours and comfortable seating. You’ll find a study spot that’s perfect for you. Your program may have its own dedicated reading room too. Learn more about our study spaces.
The Concordia lifestyle is an urban lifestyle that keeps you active, engaged and connected. We’re fuelled by creativity and diversity, just like the city around us. People from all over the world live, work and create here. That makes for an incredibly rich experience when it comes to language, literature, fashion, music, film, and food. Living in Montreal will open your eyes – and your mind.
From the downtown hustle of the Sir George Williams Campus to the relaxed Loyola Campus (and everywhere in between), you’ll find clubs, sports, professional networks, and support services to balance your life, work and study.
To start your academic journey in next-generation university where you’ll have the freedom to create and then pursue your own academic goals, visit our Admissions website.
