Combine your academic interests and go beyond the boundaries of traditional discipline-specific graduate programs. UNB can facilitate individualized interdisciplinary research, allowing students to pursue innovative ideas and fresh ways of thinking to address complex research topics.

Our students are supported by over 75 faculty members across the Fredericton and Saint John campuses—faculty research spans the major disciplines, providing diversity and flexibility for students. Graduates of our interdisciplinary studies programs land impressive jobs in academia, and in the private and public sectors.

Current students are researching complex, significant issues, including: transgender advocacy, nurse staffing and adverse events in acute care settings, evaluation tools used in early education in Latin America, decolonization of knowledge production in heritage management, smart grid consumption displays, exercise response of individuals with health risks, history of public audits in New Brunswick, forensic taphonomy (study of human decomposition) and stable isotopes, levels of worry and awareness of community support services among Canadian adults, women’s experiences as service providers and recipients during economic austerity in Greece, and university management of contingent faculty.
