The University of New Brunswick (UNB), founded in 1785, is a Canadian university with two campuses, in Fredericton and in Saint John, New Brunswick. This listing covers the Saint John campus, at 355 Campus Ring Road. Across both campuses UNB offers more than 100 programmes, with undergraduate and graduate degrees in more than 60 disciplines, and a student-to-faculty ratio of 15:1.

On the Saint John campus students can take, among others:

  • Bachelor of Business Administration (accounting, digital business design, finance, marketing, human resources)
  • Bachelor of Applied Management for community-college diploma holders
  • Bachelor of Arts in subjects such as economics, English, history, psychology and sociology
  • Bachelor of Science in Computer Science
  • BSc in Environmental Engineering (all four years in Saint John) and the first years of other engineering degrees
  • Nursing and Health Sciences

International students who do not yet meet the English requirement can be admitted conditionally and complete English training at Saint John College, which offers an EAP programme and an ESL Support Program. International applicants are considered for entrance scholarships, and the Saint John campus has three residences.

Admission Requirements

International applicants are assessed on their secondary qualifications with country- and programme-specific requirements; for example, IGCSE applicants need Ordinary levels plus at least three AS or A level subjects, with an average of C or B depending on the programme. Non-native English speakers must also meet the English requirements. Admitted undergraduates may need a provincial attestation letter (PAL) from New Brunswick for their study permit; from 1 January 2026, master's and PhD students at public institutions are exempt from the PAL.

Language Requirements

Minimum scores for direct entry to most undergraduate programmes:

  • IELTS Academic 6.5
  • TOEFL iBT 85 (before 2026) or 4.5 overall with at least 4.5 in speaking and writing (from January 2026)
  • CAEL 60, PTE Academic 59, Duolingo 115
  • Cambridge B2 First, C1 Advanced or C2 Proficiency 176

Nursing and Health Sciences at Saint John require IELTS 7.0 or equivalent. Applicants without a test score can be admitted conditionally and study English full time at Saint John College (EAP programme for IELTS 2.0-5.5, or the one-semester ESL Support Program), starting in September, January or May.

Financial Aid

International high school applicants, transfer students and continuing students are eligible for UNB scholarships once accepted; academic achievement is the main criterion. All entrance students submit an entrance scholarship application, and continuing students apply each year. Needs-based financial aid is handled by the financial aid offices in Saint John and Fredericton.
