University of New Brunswick
More than 220 years old, the University of New Brunswick (UNB) is Canada's oldest English-language university.

Students have flexibility and variety, with more than 80 degree and certificate programs to choose from, exciting study abroad locations, and fascinating co-op education and internship opportunities.

UNB is also one of a few universities in the country to offer a degree in marine biology. Its law school is in the top five in Canada and UNB's engineering program is ranked in the top 20 per cent in North America.

UNB's class sizes are small and students are taught by professors and researchers who are changing the world - researchers who are developing the technology that will be part of NASA's next mission to Mars, inventing ocean mapping technology to find downed aircraft and monitor earthquakes, creating prosthetics that are powered by brain impulses, helping to develop drugs to fight breast cancer, and studying the effect of everyday chemicals and drugs are having on our rivers, lakes and oceans.

UNB students come from more than 100 different countries. Over 12,000 undergraduate and graduate students study at one of UNB's two main campuses, located in Fredericton and Saint John. The university is large enough for students to participate in exciting research and academic opportunities, but small enough for them to feel at home.

From their smallest needs to their biggest aspirations, UNB makes sure students have the support they need to succeed. The university offers more than $4 million in undergraduate scholarships every year. All of UNB's students have faculty advisers, mentors, academic support, financial, health and counselling services and more.
