Université de Moncton is a French-language public university in New Brunswick with three campuses: the Campus de Moncton, the Campus d'Edmundston and the Campus de Shippagan.

Its 2026-2027 répertoire lists 266 programs of study across faculties spanning administration, arts and social sciences, law, education, engineering, health sciences and community services, sciences and graduate studies, including a French-language Juris Doctor in common law and engineering baccalaureates accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (BCAPG). Many programs offer a régime coopératif (co-op) stream, and student mobility agreements let students spend a session or a year in one of 27 countries.

Instruction is in French. The university invests more than 11 million dollars each year in scholarships and financial support, and entrance awards such as the Distinction académique (2 000 $ to 4 000 $ a year, up to 20 000 $) are granted automatically with the offer of admission.

For 2026-2027, full-time first-cycle tuition is 8 601 $ CAD per year for Canadian students and 15 761 $ CAD for international students (two sessions over eight months), and the university takes part in the IRCC pilot program for students in francophone minority communities (PPECFSM), a pathway to post-graduation permanent residence.

Academic Details

Academic Year: Two main sessions, automne (fall) and hiver (winter), spanning eight months, plus a printemps-été (spring-summer) session
Recognition: Department of Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour of New Brunswick
Admission Requirements: First-cycle applicants must hold a secondary school diploma, meet the admission condition attached to their program (conditions A to D, defined for candidates educated outside Canada by their baccalauréat série, e.g. série scientifique or sciences expérimentales for condition C/D programs), and satisfy any program-specific requirements; candidates from other school systems must have training judged equivalent by the admission committee. The University recognises the International Baccalaureate, granting credits for higher- and standard-level subjects passed with 4/7 or better. Applications are made through the online admission portal: Canadian and permanent-resident applicants pay a non-refundable 70 $ file-study fee, international applicants 300 $ (with 230 $ credited to the student account at first registration). International admits must then pay a confirmation-of-offer deposit — 4 000 $ for first-cycle and professional graduate programs or 2 000 $ for research-type graduate programs — which is an advance on tuition and is refundable only on documented refusal of the study permit; PPECFSM participants instead make a 25 000 $ CA participation deposit that includes the confirmation fee. Instruction is in French.
