Research

Eighty per cent of all university research in New Brunswick is conducted at UNB. There are many opportunities for undergraduate students to engage in research with faculty members, receive funding for their pursuits, and continue their research and education at UNB through graduate studies. A number of interdisciplinary research programs exist in which faculty members and students from various Departments collaborate to investigate problems of mutual interest. Active research units include the Canadian Research Institute for Social Policy, Canadian Rivers Institute, Centre for Coastal Studies and Aquaculture, Canadian Centre for Geodetic Engineering, Centre for Nuclear Energy Research, Centre for Property Studies, Electronic Text Centre, Gregg Centre for the Study of War and Society, Information Technology Centre, Institute of Biomedical Engineering, Limerick Pulp and Paper Centre, Muriel McQueen Fergusson Centre for Family Violence Research, and the Wood Science and Technology Centre, to name a few. The Office of Research Services, the research administration and development unit, facilitates the undertaking of research within the university on behalf of industry, government, and other clients and sponsors. It also promotes the application of research results to industrial problems and, where appropriate, the transfer of knowledge and technology through various types of transfer arrangements.
