University of New Brunswick

Información

      At the University of New Brunswick, we bring a diverse group of students together with our nationally recognized professors to learn in small classes and labs.

      Our campuses are located in two New Brunswick cities: Fredericton and Saint John. Fredericton, the provincial capital, was named one of the Top 7 Intelligent Communities by the New York-based Intelligent Communities Forum. Saint John, New Brunswick's financial and industrial centre, is emerging as an energy hub for the Eastern Seaboard.

One of Canada's top universities 

      UNB is one of the top five comprehensive universities in Canada as ranked by Maclean's magazine. We offer world-class programs while maintaining a small-university experience with a low student-to-faculty ratio.

We rank number one in our category for small class sizes.

  Saint John campus

      Offering full-time and part-time undergraduate and graduate degrees in arts, science, business administration, computer science, nursing, engineering, education, forestry, law and kinesiology, as well as certificate and diplomas, UNB’s programs will help you achieve your dreams.

A proud history 

      In 2010, UNB will celebrate its 225th anniversary. We’re proud to be one of the first public universities in North America. We continue to develop innovative programs and conduct world-class research.
