Why Choose University of New Brunswick
Experience Your Edge: Why UNB Shapes Tomorrow's Youth
Your Personalized Learning Advantage
Unlike many larger universities, UNB is known for its close-knit learning environment. With a total student population of just over 10,500 across two campuses (Fredericton and Saint John), students benefit from smaller class sizes (15:1), direct access to faculty, and a strong sense of community. This means more one-on-one support, better engagement in classrooms, and a more tailored educational experience. Such a setting helps students build strong academic relationships and feel genuinely supported throughout their studies.
Wide Range of Programs with Real-World Experience
UNB offers more than 125 undergraduate and graduate programs across disciplines like Engineering, Business, Computer Science, Health, and Arts. The university places strong emphasis on experiential learning, integrating co-op placements, internships, labs, and industry collaborations into academic programs. This approach ensures students graduate with practical skills and work experience, giving them a competitive edge in the job market. Students don’t just learn theories—they apply them in real-world settings.

From developing advanced prosthetics to leading projects in cybersecurity and MRI technology, UNB students have the opportunity to work alongside experts on innovative research. This positions them at the forefront of industry developments and allows them to contribute meaningfully to global challenges.
