Bachelor of Arts in Psychology

at University of New Brunswick - Saint John Campus Canada

Physics is a disciplined way to reach objective conclusions about how nature works. It is about finding out what is real. And then, armed with this new knowledge, predicting the future. Physics provides an opportunity for us to set aside our emotions, our beliefs, our preconceived notions, and our prejudices. In return, we can find answers to our questions and learn something meaningful about how things work in the universe.

We need this organized approach because humans are easily fooled. We would like to think that that is not true, but it is. Arriving at a conclusion, however, is not at all a strictly ridged mechanical process. A great amount of careful thought, inspiration, and leaps of intuition are needed.

At the University of New Brunswick in Saint John, we offer first-year courses on the theoretical foundation of physics as well as the experimental proof of critical parts. Non-science majors can choose courses in astronomy or space studies, where you'll learn how the human species explores and exploits the cosmos.

Mechanical engineers work with systems that transform energy and material to useful ends.

Combining the principles of physics with engineering, mechanical engineers design, develop and analyze machines, including:

• Aircraft
• Automobiles
• Ships
• Spacecraft
• Industrial equipment
• Robotics
• Medical devices
• Heating and cooling systems

The majority of mechanical engineers work in manufacturing and industrial plants, improving system performance, including increased emission and other environmental controls.

Economists are excited by changing environments and unique challenges. When you study economics, you’re examining decision-making processes at the personal and political level and contributing to a way of thinking that will influence countless social issues, including: poverty, climate change, health care, international development, globalization, immigration, financial institutions, and government regulations. Economics will prepare you for a career of investigating and analyzing economic events, forecasting trends, and creating efficient policies while innovating current systems.

Why Economics at UNB?
We take a comprehensive approach to the study of economics. At UNB, students build strong fundamentals by gaining knowledge about modern economic issues and problems facing our current system.

Hands-on learning:

• Enjoy work-study opportunities that engage your interests
• Travel abroad through our exchange programs
• Attend/participate in conferences and workshops

Skills you will acquire: 

• Knowledge of economic policies
• Effective Communication
• Statistical and quantitative analysis
• Writing coherent and persuasive economic reports

Go surfing in the Pacific and write about it. Book a dream honeymoon for someone. Entertain tourists through interpretive re-enactments. Manage a beachfront hotel. These are just a few of the cool things you can do with a degree in Hospitality and Tourism.

In UNB’s Bachelor of Applied Management in Hospitality and Tourism (BAMHT) program, you’ll combine practical experience in a community college setting with theoretical studies in UNB classrooms. You’ll study in Canada’s oldest incorporated city and gain valuable hands-on training and experience.

The BAMHT is available as a certificate and a degree, if entering from high school, or as a diploma and a degree, if entering from college. For the co-op mode, work terms follow Years Two and Three for high school-entry students while a work term follows Year Three (i.e. first year at UNBSJ) for college-entry students. These work terms provide hands-on, multi-level practical experiences.

Why Hospitality and Tourism at UNB?

Through UNB’s unique program, you’ll gain hands-on experience through the community college component of the program in addition to the theoretical component you’ll receive in UNB’s classrooms.

In addition, Saint John's distinctive historic and geographic significance makes it an ideal place to study and experience tourism first hand.

Hands-on learning: 

• Co-operative Education (Co-op) program
• Field trips to museums, world heritage sites, cruise ships in port, event venues, and other tourist sites
• Volunteer and paid opportunities with local organizations
• Opportunities to work with professors on tourism research projects
• Coursework involving case studies and group projects

Skills you will acquire:

• Business management skills, such as accounting, finance, marketing and strategy
• Manage staff and visitors
• Plan events, festivals, and conferences
• Manage historic and natural parks
• Manage hospitality operations
• Create new hospitality and tourism products and improve existing ones

Mathematics puts our world in order.

The Mathematics program on the Saint John campus is available as a major and minor option as part of a Bachelor of Science degree as well as part of a Bachelor of Arts degree. Additionally, there is a major in Mathematics and Economics option as part of a Bachelor of Science degree and there is a Certificate in Mathematics for Education.

Why Math at UNB?

The size of UNB Saint John provides students with the opportunity to benefit from the small class sizes while still having a range of interesting courses from which to choose. As an upper year undergraduate student there are opportunities to be a teaching assistant marking assignments, to be a tutor in the Flora Beckett Math and Science Help Centre helping first year students, or to work on a summer research project with a faculty member.

Skills you will acquire:

• Critical thinking
• Analytical
• Organizational
• Problems-solving
• Investigative

General Information:-

The Certificate in General Studies is open to all interested individuals, but it is intended for student attending university for the first time. It is anticipated that Certificate students may proceed on to a degree program, transferring all appropriate Certificate credit(s).

Mathematics puts our world in order. Arts students may major or minor in Mathematics, studying calculus, geometry, algebra, statistics and mathematical theory. Mathematics provides the framework for scientific theory in applied, natural and social sciences and the principles underlying economics and business studies.

The Engineering programs are based on Department course credit requirements established by the Faculty of Engineering as detailed in Section G of this Calendar. The courses available will satisfy up to one-half of the total course requirements for Chemical, Civil, Computer, Electrical, Mechanical, and Software Engineering. Geological, Forest and Geomatics Engineering students may obtain approximately one-quarter of their total course requirements.

Linguistics courses offer insights into the relationship between the brain, mind and language. By studying linguistics, you’ll gain the skills and knowledge to understand foreign languages and the difficulties foreign students encounter in English and French. 

Linguistic courses complement programs in Education, English, Languages, Psychology, Philosophy, Social Science, and Computer Science. Linguistics is a requirement for Speech Therapy, TESL, and other programs related to language processing and language engineering.

What you'll learn
This program provides students with a solid knowledge of basic concepts that form the foundation of linguistic theories including:

• The modules of grammar (phonology, syntax, semantics).
• The relationship between cognition and language (psycholinguistics).
• The relationship between brain and grammar (generative grammar.
• Mental processes involved in the acquisition of the first and second languages.

Electrical engineers oversee the production, transmission and use of electricity.

That includes everything from managing large power grids that deliver electricity to designing microprocessors for computers and other electric devices.

With the many applications of electricity, the areas of specialization are wide-ranging:

• Power apparatus and systems
• Electronics and digital systems
• Computer networks and communications
• Eletromagnetics
• System dynamics and control
