The smart alternative to applying direct for a degree at the University of New Brunswick and the easy way to find programs that match your eligibility and aspirations
The University of New Brunswick (UNB) was established in 1785 and is Canada’s oldest English-language university. It’s a public university with two campus locations both in New Brunswick, with the original campus in Fredericton, and a smaller campus in Saint John.
UNB is one of Canada’s top comprehensive universities, with more than 75 programs available at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The University is made up of more than 10 faculties, including art, business, education, engineering, law, nursing, and science.
There are a variety of on-campus accommodation options, including traditional dorms and modern, suite-style rooms. First-year students are encouraged to live on campus, as this gives you the freedom of living on your own while having the support you need to transition successfully to university life in Canada.
A 15:1 student-staff ratio ensures students’ learning is personalized

UNB has a strong international community, with international students from over 90 countries making up 12% of UNB’s student population. Both campus locations have vibrant art and music scenes, farmers' markets, and are surrounded by picturesque rivers, oceans, parks and trails.
Academic orientation events will help you become familiar with the buildings on campus. During the first few weeks of term, there will be a number of information kiosks located in key areas, staffed by volunteers who are ready to point you in the right direction.
There are plenty of ways you can get involved on campus at New Brunswick, as the University hosts over 50 clubs and societies. From dancing and debating to rock climbing and scuba diving, there's an activity for everyone. This is a great way to meet new people and settle in to life at UNB.

UNB offers millions of dollars in scholarship support each year to offset some of the costs of a university education. Eligible international students include high school applicants, students transferring from another post-secondary institution as well as students continuing their studies at UNB.
International students can be considered for scholarships once they are accepted and while studying at the University of New Brunswick. New UNB students will be assessed for scholarship support at the same time they’re being assessed for admission to their program. They are also encouraged to submit an entrance scholarship application. All continuing UNB students need to submit a scholarship application each year to be considered for scholarship support. The primary consideration for scholarship support at UNB is academic achievement.
