About

The University of New Brunswick (UNB) is a public research university with two primary campuses in Fredericton and Saint John, New Brunswick. It is the oldest English-language university in Canada (a title also claimed by the University of King's College). With Canada's oldest engineering programme, UNB is consistently ranked by the Times Higher Education amongst the top 300 engineering schools in the world, or top 3% of over 7,000 universities that offer engineering worldwide. UNB has two main campuses: the original campus in Fredericton (UNBF), established in 1785, and a smaller campus in Saint John (UNBSJ), which opened in 1964. The Saint John campus is home to New Brunswick's anglophone medical school, Dalhousie Medicine New Brunswick, an affiliate of Dalhousie University.
