Exchange opportunities
Get out of the classroom and get your hands dirty! Nothing drives home your education like practical experience in the field.
Concordia Student Exchange Program
Studying abroad through the Concordia Student Exchange Program (CSEP) is an immersive experience that gives Concordia students life- and career-changing opportunities to spend a term or an academic year at one of Concordia's 180-plus partner universities or other institutions of higher learning.
Summer programs
In collaboration with Concordia International, the Department of Classics, Modern Languages and Linguistics provides students with the opportunity to participate in an educational and cultural immersion while earning Concordia undergraduate credits.
Archaeological fieldwork
Concordia does not have its own archaeological project, so students must find their own. February is the best time of the year to start looking. Students are advised to act fast and early since popular projects fill up quickly. It is recommended to start by inquiring about prerequisites (prior experience, photographic experience, etc.), cost, and whether university credits are involved.
Potential types of work:
- excavation or survey project
- supervised work in a museum (for instance, an internship)
- artifact analysis
- research of work for a government agency such as Historical Resources or National Parks
- participation in a study tour of Greece, Italy, etc.
Recommended archaeological fieldwork choices
Process
If your fieldwork is offered by a Quebec university, you need to apply for an inter-university exchange with Bureau de cooperation interuniversitaire (BCI) to register and have your grade and credits transferred once the project has been completed.
If your fieldwork takes place outside of Quebec, you can apply for an external credit transfer if university credits are awarded & accepted by Concordia.
Complete the following forms:
On the Student Request Form:
- Choose the " Transfer External Credit(s)" option.
- Indicate the term(s) you want to be on exchange, the names of institutions in order of first, second and third choice.
- Specify that you want the credits to be transferred to Concordia.
TIP: Whether the program is credited or not, check out if you qualify for the Mobility Bursary.
External courses
