Concordia University (reviews)

The psychology course at Concordia university in Montreal is very interesting and well-organized. The professors are knowledgeable and explain concepts in a clear way. I like that there is a lot of focus on real research and experiment. Some classes can be a bit fast-paced but overall the course helps students understand psychology better.
The campus is very pleasant, especially Loyola. I highly recommend this University of you’re looking for a solid psychology degree.

The school creates an amazing environment for entrepreneurial mindset and encourages collaboration and engaging through numerous programs and networking events. This creates an invaluable value for students equipping them with the knowledge of a work environment culture.

I went to Concordia from 2004-2008 in Applied Human Sciences (Human Relations specifically). I really enjoyed my time there and made some good friendships I still have today. I think that I have been able to apply what I learned in my bachelor’s degree in every job i’ve had, and in life in general. I specifically loved my course on counseling where I was able to be counseled. And my self-managed learning course, where I learned so much about myself.

My experience as an international student at this university has been a mix of positive and challenging aspects. On the positive side, the university offers excellent research and teaching opportunities that are directly relevant to the field of study. I have also received the most unconditional support from my supervisor, which has been invaluable. The student services are impressive as well, including access to a well-equipped library, gym classes, and the convenience of a central city location.

However, there have been notable difficulties. Sudden government changes to international student rules, often implemented with as little as one or two weeks’ notice, created significant uncertainty. Although the university was not responsible for these changes, its response and guidance were insufficient. In particular, the International Student Office lacked the necessary knowledge and was less helpful than I expected.

Overall, while the academic and campus resources are substantial, international students may face challenges related to external policy changes and inconsistent support from the university’s international office.
