Welcome to Concordia

Concordia is a next-generation university, continually reimagining the future of higher education. Established in 1974, Concordia is located in vibrant and multicultural Montreal, North America's favourite student city. It is the top-ranked university in North America founded within the last 50 years and among the most innovative in its approach to experiential learning and interdisciplinary research.

Concordia's strategic directions set out a vision for the future and exemplify a daring and transformative outlook to some of the most important issues of our time.

The university annually registers 51,250 diverse and engaged students in its Faculty of Arts and Science, John Molson School of Business, Gina Cody School of Engineering and Computer Science and Faculty of Fine Arts and in Concordia Continuing Education. It employs more than 6,700 faculty and staff and annually secures nearly $61.9 million in sponsored research income.

Whether in our dynamic libraries and study spaces, or our state-of-the-art labs, studios and makerspaces, Concordians learn by doing. You'll draw inspiration from the creative energy that surrounds you while creating and pursuing your own academic and personal goals. From the downtown buzz of the Sir George Williams Campus to the relaxed Loyola Campus, you'll find clubs, sports teams, professional networks and support services to balance your life, work and study.

Beno?t Eclache

Master's student, Human Systems Intervention

"At Concordia, I have had so many opportunities to develop my skills and experiment outside of my program. During my first year, I was a teaching assistant (TA), and began facilitating leadership workshops for GradProSkills. I feel really fortunate to have had these opportunities: they helped me better understand what skills I am good at, what does not interest me and what I want to improve on."
