🎓 Université de Moncton – New Brunswick, Canada

Université de Moncton – New Brunswick, Canada

1. Overview and location

Université de Moncton is a French-language university in New Brunswick, with campuses in Moncton, Edmundston, and Shippagan. Graduate program campus availability must be verified; do not assume every program is offered at all three locations.

2. Master and PhD programs

The university offers master’s (maîtrise) and doctoral (doctorat) programs in the official directory. The Doctorat en sciences de la vie is a research option requiring a supervisor's confirmation upon application. Ensure you select the correct program and campus, distinguishing between thesis (mémoire/thèse) and coursework or professional structures.

3. Study modes and program selection

Clearly compare thesis/research tracks with course-based/professional tracks before choosing. Thesis programs suit those interested in research and further studies; professional Master’s focus on coursework, projects, or industry-specific practice. Verify standard duration, required registration terms, full-time/part-time status, and specific program requirements for securing a supervisor. Do not assume all programs offer both options.

4. Academic requirements and application documents

Before applying, match your bachelor's degree, prerequisite courses, and GPA with the program page. Prepare your transcripts/diplomas, CV, statement of purpose, referees, and language certificates according to the checklist. Research programs may require a proposal or a faculty member's agreement to supervise; professional programs may require experience, a portfolio, or an interview. Minimum scores are only admission requirements, not a guarantee of acceptance.

5. Language requirements

The study environment is primarily in French. Verify the proof of proficiency required, accepted tests, and any exemptions per program. The ability to read English research literature may be necessary; this does not replace the French requirements stipulated by the program.

6. Tuition fees for international students

The 2026–27 graduate (cycles supérieurs) fee table in CAD: international students pay 579 CAD/credit for courses/internships, 486 CAD/credit for theses, and 334 CAD/term for thesis monitoring (instance de thèse) per the university schedule. COOP fees, insurance, and other charges are calculated separately. Total tuition depends on credit allocation and study stage; do not use Bachelor's tuition levels or multiply a single rate to estimate the entire degree cost.

7. Scholarships and research support

Inquire specifically about scholarships, TA/RA positions, and funding sources available for your specific degree and international student status. Only include amounts confirmed in your offer or award letter in your budget; check deadlines, progress conditions, work obligations, and whether tuition has already been deducted. Course-based Master’s should not be assumed to have the same funding as research programs.

8. Strengths, considerations, and suitability

Suitable for those with the academic ability to study in French and an appropriate field/topic available in New Brunswick. Campus, supervisor, and activity-based fee structures must be clarified. Students seeking English-language programs must check the official language of instruction before applying.

9. Pre-application preparation

Select a specific program before drafting your budget. Check intake terms, duration, in-person vs. online delivery, prerequisite requirements, and deadlines. For research tracks, read faculty publications and confirm if you must secure a supervisor before applying. Transcripts, diplomas, CVs, statements of purpose, recommendation letters, and language certificates must meet program guidelines; arts programs may require a portfolio. Budget separately for tuition, mandatory fees, insurance, housing, food, transport, and family expenses. Do not include potential income from part-time work or unconfirmed scholarships in your guaranteed budget.
