Program details
Overview
This program covers the fundamentals of computer science, including how to design and build software and develop effective approaches to solving computational problems, combining theoretical study with hands-on coursework. The credential is a Bachelor of Computer Science, offered through the Faculty of Computer Science on the Fredericton campus. A co-op program is available, giving students paid work experience alongside their studies, and the program page references the option to pursue concurrent degrees combined with Arts, Science, or Geodesy and Geomatics. A cybersecurity specialization is also offered within the degree. The program suits students who want to work with current technologies and ideas in a rapidly evolving field, and it is positioned toward students seeking direct pathways into the technology sector. Career paths referenced include software development, computer animation, telecommunications, computer security, e-commerce, program management, and business analyst roles. The mix of a co-op stream, concurrent-degree options, and a cybersecurity specialization gives students several ways to shape the computer science degree toward a particular technical or interdisciplinary direction.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:75.00 / %
Admission Requirements: This programme page defers to UNB's admission requirements tool rather than listing courses itself; for direct entry from a New Brunswick high school it requires the Bachelor of Computer Science (Fredericton campus) English 122 at a minimum of 60%, Pre-Calculus A 120 at a minimum of 65%, Pre-Calculus B 120 at a minimum of 65%, one of Biology 122, Chemistry 122 or Physics 122 at a minimum of 65%, and two further electives, for a minimum admission average of 75%. International applicants follow the same course and average requirements; those with prior post-secondary study outside Canada or the United States must submit a WES ICAP course-by-course evaluation. All international applicants must also meet UNB's standard English-language requirement unless exempt: IELTS Academic 6.5, TOEFL iBT 85 (pre-2026) or 4.5 overall with at least 4.5 in Speaking and Writing (Jan 2026+), CAEL 60, Pearson PTE 59, Cambridge English 176, or Duolingo 115. Meeting the minimum average does not guarantee admission.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic and international applicants apply through UNB's own application portal by the same published dates: for Fall 2027 entry the general deadline is 31 March 2027, and for Winter 2027 entry it is 15 November 2026, with undergraduate scholarship applications due 1 March 2027. UNB continues to accept applications after these dates while seats remain in the program, so admission is effectively rolling once the deadline passes. UNB publishes no international-specific deadline distinct from these dates. Limited-enrolment programmes close earlier: the Bachelor of Education and Bachelor of Education in Early Childhood Education (Fredericton) close 1 December 2026, and the Bachelor of Nursing closes 15 February 2027. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
