Hands-on experience from the start
Start your education on the right foot with hands-on experience in your first year. Whether you’re interested in our four-year Bachelor of Nursing at our Fredericton campus or our two-year Bachelor of Nursing Accelerated Program at our Moncton site, you’ll gain clinical experience in your first year.
Our students have the support they need to become leaders in the field with small class sizes, welcoming faculty and a 8:1 student-to-faculty ratio for most clinical courses. During your time at the University of New Brunswick, you’ll not only become a leader in your field, you’ll also make new friends and challenge yourself in ways you can’t imagine.

Why nursing at UNB?
Our curriculum is unique in its focus on primary healthcare, social justice and caring as core values. We emphasize the caring practice of nursing because we know that the human side of the profession is just as important as the technical side.
Our graduates are leading the way as executive directors of hospitals, majors in the Canadian Armed Forces, Canada research chairs and ministerial government positions. They make a difference in their communities, working in harm reduction and providing healthcare around the world.
