Why Concordia University stands out
Concordia University is a public university in Montreal, Quebec, a bilingual city with a large student population. Its four faculties — Arts and Science, Engineering and Computer Science, Fine Arts, and the John Molson School of Business — share a focus on hands-on learning. The university welcomes students from many countries and publishes admission requirements by region, including a page for students from Asia-Pacific countries.
What you can study
Concordia offers bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral programmes, including engineering, computer science, business, design, fine arts, science and the humanities. Students can choose from a wide range of programmes across the four faculties, and the university’s application process is completed on its own website.
International admissions
Applicants from Bangladesh qualify with the Higher Secondary Certificate, and Concordia does not require ACT or SAT scores. Applications are made on the university’s own website, and students from outside Canada are asked to apply earlier than students inside Canada. Because Concordia is in Quebec, international students need a Quebec Acceptance Certificate (CAQ) as well as a Canadian study permit, and the International Students Office can help with immigration steps. See the official admissions page for students from Asia-Pacific.
