Questions

Answers

  • Are there any graduate student openings available at UNB?

    In general, both funded and unfunded graduate student opportunities are available in a number of research areas. In practice, fully-funded positions are very scarce and only a limited number of self-funded students can be accepted. You are encouraged to enquire early for the academic term in which you intend to begin studies.

  • Should I e-mail a professor directly?

    Your enquiries are best directed to the Graduate Program Assistant - Ms Shelley Cormier (ece-grad@unb.ca).

    Professors do not have the time to respond to the large number of direct solicitations which arrive by e-mail every week.

  • Do you Qualify?

    Grade Point Average (GPA) should be no less than 80% or of First Class Standing

    • 3.2 / 4.0
    • 4.0 /5
    • 8 / 10
    • 16 / 20

  • English Competency Scores

    If your education was not taken in Canada, USA or the UK, than you will be required to provide proof of English Competency.

    TOEFL Scores should be no less than:

    • Paper Based - 580 out of 677
    • Computer Based - 237 out of 300
    • IT Based - 93 out of 120
    • Michigan Score no less than 85%
    • IELTS Score no less than 7.0

    • Our Department will Not Offer a Conditional or Probational Acceptance based on GPA or English scores lower than the values listed above. The number of graduate student positions available in the department is very limited. Only the very best and most qualified students will be considered for admission. In certain research areas, no new students will be accepted this year.
