Explore our study space
Students at the College have a shared space that's ideal for studying, doing research, working on projects or even having a bite to eat in the kitchen lunch area. It also provides students with an opportunity to socialize, collaborate, swap ideas and get to know the other College members.
Along with being given a desk space in a quiet room where they can focus, students also have access to a variety of resources that include shared computers and printers. There's even a research library in which they'll find textbooks and scientific journals to peruse.
Need help with your writing?
The Science College offers assistance to any College students who need help with their writing projects. From editing advice to demonstrating the proper way to cite references in a scholarly publication, and more, writing consultant Dr. Brendan Joyce is available for consultation. Contact Dr. Joyce to schedule an appointment at the Science College.

Annual Stewart Hall Science Fair
The Science College has been a regular participant at the Stewart Hall Science Fair for many years now. Held each November at the Pointe-Claire Cultural Centre, it's an opportunity for staff and students to showcase their research at Concordia, and share their knowledge and love of science with the children, youth and parents of the community.
Finding Urban Nature (F.U.N.) summertime program
To help bring science and nature education to underserved children in the community, the Science College – in collaboration with UrbaNature Éducation and Comité Jeunesse N.D.G – offers an exciting day of fun, activity-based programming each week that promotes the value of green spaces to children who attend borough-subsidized daycamps during the summer break.
