About

The University of New Brunswick knows that its students want more than a traditional university degree. They want an education that prepares them for a global future – a future that demands critical thinking, innovation and resourcefulness. The University believes that every future matters. This belief fuels the experience offered to its students. While it is Canada’s oldest English university – founded in 1785, the school is older than the country itself – they are most excited about what lies ahead. The University believes in innovation as a pathway to success. Innovation propels societies forward, improves lives, spurs discovery and advances higher knowledge. The University of New Brunswick is big enough to offer a global education and to embrace world-class research. Yet, the campuses are small enough to offer an education that is trusted and personal, where professors know students' name and their potential.

    Cooperative education (or co-operative education) and internships are methods of combining classroom-based education with practical work experience. A cooperative education experience ("co-op"), provides academic credit for structured job experience. Co-ops are full-time, paid or unpaid positions. Internships may be full-time or part-time, paid or unpaid positions.

    Even if you do NOT meet our minimum English requirement (IELTS or TOEFL), you still can get conditionally accepted in the program of your choice with the condition of completing our English program prior to starting your chosen program.

    Students need to plan their accommodations well in advance of their arrival as all accommodation options fill up quickly, well before the start of the semester.
