The supervisor I am working with is amazing. I knew I would be able to work in any field, however, I knew I could also be made to hate any field if I hated my supervisor. So I chose a good supervisor, in a decent field. Rather than a field, I was more interested in, but a worse supervisor.
Course Curriculum
Not enough course selection. It is a small department, so there are very limited choices in terms of the curriculum in graduate studies. However, the undergraduate curriculum is excellent with a co-op option to allow students to gain industry experience and connections.
Faculty
Amazing. The teachers here are actually very good and very dedicated to their jobs rather than solely focusing on their research. They are friendly and available. The school has a strong sense of community.
Accommodation
Events
There is a strong sense of community at my campus, therefore we have several events throughout the year. The first being welcome week events such as a picnic and party on the campus. There are also several sports teams with games one can attend throughout the semester.
Fees
Students pay tuition fees of around 1500-2000$ per semester for Quebec residents. However, fees for international students are much higher but still lower than in many other places.
Scholarship
At Concordia, you are automatically entered into the scholarship pool for the scholarships for which you are eligible. If you win one, you will be contacted to redeem it.
Examination Structure
Typically this is dependent on the professor for each course. Mostly, one or two midterms and one final. There is typically a mix of multiple choice and short/long answer questions on the topics covered in class.
