How is crude oil refined for use as heating fuel or as a lubricant? Ask a chemical engineer. Chemical engineers monitor air and water quality and construct and operate equipment that processes materials into desired products.

UNB Saint John's undergraduate program in chemical engineering provides a broad background in chemistry, physics, and mathematics and detailed knowledge of chemical engineering principles.

In the Psychology program at UNB’s Fredericton campus, you’ll explore human behavior- our desires, impulses, actions and emotions- in the context of the science that drives it.

The Psychology program will prepare you for a variety of careers including policymaking at the local, national or global level, or professional programs in a range of healthcare areas such as neuropsychology, speech and language pathology, or medicine.

You’ll have the opportunity complete courses in:

• Cognitive neuroscience (the connection between the brain and behavior)
• Drugs and behavior
• Physiological psychology
• Surveys of the senses
• Laboratory courses that allow for more intensive study

You will become well equipped to work in a variety of environments and you’ll gain the skills and knowledge to make decisions based on sound scientific principles. 

The Psychology program is available as a major, double major, minor or honours option as part of a four-year Bachelor of Science degree.

The Faculty of Science is one of the university’s oldest faculties and was established when UNB was founded in 1785.

Geological engineers merge earth sciences with engineering principles to determine what lies underground. Working primarily in the mining and mineral extraction sectors, geological engineers oversee the stability and safety of mines and of drilling sites, particularly of oil and natural gas wells.

This includes:

• Stabilizing the site against landslides and other ecological disasters
• Protecting groundwater supplies from contamination
• Ensuring all work is conducted in an environmentally sustainable way

Civil engineers design, construct and maintain all types of buildings and transportation systems.

That’s an extensive list that includes office towers, highways, airports, canals, bridges, industrial plants, water and sewage treatment systems, hydroelectric developments and irrigation systems.

Areas of specialization include:

• Structural
• Geotechnical
• Regional and municipal planning
• Transportation
• Construction and construction materials
• Sanitary and environmental and hydro electrical engineering

Many civil engineers find career opportunities in environmental management areas very rewarding.

Information and Communication Studies (ICS) is online, interactive, and connected. Society is in the midst of a fundamental shift in how we communicate with each other, access information, and view popular culture.

As an ICS student on our Saint John campus, you will cast a critical eye on the impact of new technologies and processes on our social, political, economic, and cultural landscapes.

Topics include the decline of newspapers, radio, and television; the rise of Twitter, Facebook, and other social media; the impact of mobile computing; and the eternal question of ‘do we control our devices or do our devices determine who we are?’

Unlike many similar programs, which focus on one discipline’s perspective, our program is multidisciplinary. This means you’ll learn about complex topics from multiple fields of study and perspectives, including Sociology, Psychology, and History.

Hands-on learning

• Media internships
• Work-study opportunities
• Practicum courses
• Other experiential learning opportunities
