This program is to help UNB undergraduate students transition into a research (thesis) based Masters program at UNB.
Eligible students are those with exceptional academic records and an established relationship with a UNB faculty member with an existing research project of joint interest (e.g. final year research project or honors thesis) who want to extend this project into a Masters-level thesis project.
Students will normally begin their work in the summer term following completion of their undergraduate degree in order to complete their Masters degree on an accelerated timeline.
This award is valued at $8,000 so that students may dedicate themselves to full-time research activities during this term. During this term they are registered as graduate students.
Some program requirements, such as coursework, may be completed during the final undergraduate year to facilitate accelerated completion.
Deadline for application to SGS:
