    About

    With roots dating back to 1854, UNB's Civil Engineering department has a long and prestigious history. Our graduate program has helped hundreds of students cement the necessary engineering skills to plan, design and manage the essential infrastructure of modern society.

    From highways and bridges to water treatment plants and energy-efficient buildings, UNB provides our graduates with a solid foundation to build exciting careers with consulting engineering companies, NGOs, provincial and federal government agencies, and academic and research organizations around the world.

    The program generally has between 40 and 60 graduate students conducting research in all the major sub-disciplines of Civil Engineering. MEng students often complete their program on a part-time basis.

    Requirements

    Entry Requirements

    Some Programs require Graduate Record Examinations (GRE). Please review your program page. The general test is offered as a computer-based test in the U.S., Canada, and many other countries. Paper-based general test administrations are offered in areas of the world where computer based testing is not available. The test measures skills that have been developed over a long period of time and are not necessarily related to any particular field of study.

    English Requirements

    • PTEMin 65
    • IELTSMin 7
    • TOEFLMin 92

    2. Check the admission requirements

    Once you’ve decided on your program, check our admission requirements to ensure you meet the requirements.

    3. Create a UNB application account and complete an application

    Be sure to check our application deadlines.

    To avoid delays in the processing of your application, please verify the following:

    • The name on your application matches the name on your transcripts and the name that will appear on your passport

    The international application fee is $125 CDN and is non-refundable.

    Applicants can pay by:

    • Credit card (this option is not available in some countries)
    • Bank draft or certified cheque made payable to the University of New Brunswick
    • Money order through a Canadian banking institution

    When paying by bank draft, certified cheque or money order, be sure to include your name and your application number (16 digit alpha-numeric code) so that the payment may be credited to your account.

    Send to:

    International Recruitment Centre

    Contact Sue for help in arranging payment of the application fee.

    5. Submit your documents

    You'll need to mail us the following:

    Official or notarized transcripts/grades for all secondary or high school, colleges and universities you have attended.

    • All applicants must disclose any prior attendance at a university or other post-secondary institution in Canada or abroad, regardless of whether they are seeking transfer credit. Failure to disclose this information may result in a rejection of the student’s application or subsequent suspension from UNB.

    If your transcripts are not in English, you are required to send the official transcript and provide a certified translation.

    If applicable, submit the results from any academic tests you have taken, such as SAT, ACT, Cambridge ‘O’ and ‘A’ levels, CXC or others.

    If you are applying for direct admission to an undergraduate program at UNB and are not exempt from our English language requirements, submit your English language proficiency test score. UNB accepts IELTS; MELAB; TOEFL iBT; TOEFL (paper-based); TOEFL (computer-based); MELAB; CAEL; Pearson Vue, and CanTest.

    If you are applying to transfer from a post-secondary institution to UNB, you must submit course outlines to be assessed for credit transfer. A course outline (also known as a syllabus) is a document that typically provides a detailed summary of topics to be covered in a course, titles of reading materials, and the grading policy. All course outlines must be provided in English.

    Note: If you are over the age of 21, you are considered a mature student and must submit a resume of your education and work experience since high school. These particular documents can be uploaded to your UNB application account.

    Mail all official documentation, in hard copy, to:

    International Recruitment Centre
    University of New Brunswick
    100 Tucker Park Road, PO BOX 5050
    Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada E2L 4L5
