Criminal Justice Studies at UNB is about crime, criminal behaviour, and the criminal justice system. It’s about social control, crime prevention, victimization, and criminal sanctions. And it’s about examining all of these things from multiple perspectives – psychological, sociological, historical, philosophical, and business.

Why Criminal Justice Studies at UNB?
Unlike many criminal justice programs, which focus on one discipline’s perspective, our program is multidisciplinary. That means you’ll learn about complex criminal justice issues from multiple fields of study and perspectives.

Skills you will acquire:

• Integration of knowledge from diverse sources
• Critical thinking
• Interpersonal and communication (written and oral)
• Organizational
• Research
• Analyze the causes and consequences of criminal behaviour

Psychology is the science of human thought, behaviour and emotion. All that we think, feel and do is a possible topic for psychological study. Psychology applies its knowledge to human activity in order to improve lives and alleviate suffering.

At UNB, we offer a broad spectrum of research areas in psychology, including: human sexuality, depression, feminist perspectives, Autism, women’s studies, internet and gambling addictions, gender and laterality, pain assessment and management, infant and adolescent development, cultural psychology, self-concept and identity, bilingualism and cognitive neuroscience.

Hands-on learning:

• Experiential learning through in-class exercises and small group tutorials
• Conduct and analyze innovative experiments in the department research lab
• Volunteer with community organizations, such as the 24-hour CHIMO helpline.
• Skills you will acquire:
• Quantitative and qualitative research skills
• Critical thinking
• Oral and Written Communication
• Organizational
• Interpersonal
• Research
• Laboratory experience

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.

Explore the full breadth of the nursing profession, from community nursing to emergency care, with our nationally recognized BN program.

Our campus is adjacent to New Brunswick’s largest health care facility, the Saint John Regional Hospital - the province's main trauma and heart care centre and medical teaching facility. We are also co-located with Dalhousie Medicine New Brunswick, and NBCC (New Brunswick Community College) Allied Health - giving us unique opportunities for interdisciplinary research and education that will enhance your studies.

You will begin with introductory classes in the physical and social sciences along with courses geared toward career development. In your second year you will focus on health specialties such as mental health, young families and the relationship between bodies and disease. Third and fourth year courses will concentrate on acute care and community nursing.

Our students receive valuable real-world experience during clinical care practicums at both the hospital and through local community, industry and public health programs and agencies.

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

Radiological technologists are experts in the use of electromagnetic radiation, such as X-rays, for the diagnosis of injury and disease. Radiography is offered in collaboration with the Saint John Regional Hospital and The Moncton Hospital.

Benefit from the work
Radiological technologists are experts in the use of electromagnetic radiation, such as X-rays, for the diagnosis of injury and disease. Just about every Canadian will benefit from the work and care of a radiological technologist at some point in their lives - whether it's for a sprain, broken ankle or an annual preventative care mammogram.

Radiological technologists use a variety of technologies such as:

• Radiography, the commonly used X-ray for the chest, bones, joints, spine and gastrointestinal system
• Mammography, for early detection of breast cancer
• Bone Mineral Densitometry for detection and follow up of osteoporosis
• Angiography, to examine the heart and vascular (veins and arteries) system
• Fluroscopy, real-time, moving images of internal structures
• Computed Tomography (CT) scanning used to obtain crosssectional virtual slices through anatomical structures and to create 3-dimensional reconstructions

Radiological technologists work directly with patients, providing a combination of technological expertise and personal one-on-one care. as a registered radiological technologist, you will:

• Assess a patient’s condition and obtain clinical history
• Determine technical parameters for production of images
• Conduct examinations within a hospital’s diagnostic imaging department, operating room, trauma room and critical care units
• Analyze images
• Collaborate with the medical team, including radiologists
• Provide education and information to the patient and their family
