Field school application

If you meet the eligibility requirements for the field school you are interested in, the application process will be as follows: 

Attend the information session: All students who want to apply must attend the information session for that specific field school. Details on the session will be available on the field school’s web page. 

Prepare your application documents: You will be required to provide the following documents/information for your application:

• Copy of unofficial transcript of records (to be uploaded to online application form)
• Letter of intent explaining why you want to participate in the field school, the kind of work you hope to accomplish, and what strengths or contributions you will bring to the group of students participating (500-700 words, to be uploaded to online application form)
• Copy of passport information page (to be uploaded to online application form)
• Emergency contact information
• Some field schools may ask for additional supporting documents, such as a sample of your creative or scholarly practice or portfolio. Make sure to read through the application information for the field school you are interested in before applying.

Submit online application by deadline: The online application can be accessed through the Concordia International Outgoing Mobility portal. Note: you can save and complete your application over multiple sessions. However, no more changes will be possible after submitting the application. The application deadline for each field school varies, so make sure to double-check the deadline for the field school you are interested in. 

Interview: Some field schools require students to do a short interview with the Concordia faculty lead as part of the application process. This will be clearly indicated on the field school’s specific web page. Information regarding the interview will be provided to eligible candidates once the online applications have closed and been processed.
