Important information

  • Students should note that two years each of high school chemistry and physics will normally be required. 
  • Students lacking these courses will be considered on an individual basis. 
  • Applicants who do not meet the admission requirements for direct entry to the degree program, but offer a minimum admission average of 70% (and other conditions as may be required by the admitting faculty) may be given conditional admission to the appropriate faculty in an entrance program.

Important notes

1. Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission to any program.

2. A pass at the high school level is required for each subject counted for admission (unless otherwise specified). To count for admission, a subject must be taken at the "academic" level (New Brunswick level 2). Level 1, French immersion, and advanced courses are satisfactory substitutes (where they exist). Courses taken at the "general" level will not be accepted for admission purposes.

3. Students whose first language is French must offer French in place of English in the required subjects and may offer English as an elective.

4. Students intending to enter the science program (BSc), programs offered concurrently with the science program (BA/BSc,BCS/BSc),the Bachelor of Medical Laboratory Science program (BMLS), the Bachelor of Arts and Sciences program (BASc),the engineering programs (BScE and BScFE), and the Bachelor of Computer Science/ Engineering concurrent programs (BCS/BScE) should note that two years each of high school chemistry and physics will normally be required. Students who do not meet these requirements may be given special consideration.

5. Students intending to enrol in Math 1003, Introduction to Calculus I, must take a placement test that will be administered during orientation week in September. Materials to prepare for this test are available online as well as from the mathematics departments in New Brunswick high schools and UNB. Based on their test scores, and the regulations set out by the mathematics departments, students will be required to take a pre-calculus course (Math 0863) or a special section of Math 1003 that covers the material of the course over two semesters, or a regular (one semester) section of Math 1003.

6. Science 122 is an approved Group One elective, but it will not be accepted as a substitute for Chemistry 122 or Physics 122 for admission to programs requiring either of these courses.
