Application Process

UNB Students intending to apply for entry into the Bachelor of Health Sciences program should:

Get informed about the differences between each of the professional streams by attending information sessions, asking questions, touring the program’s facilities, checking out the links on these pages, etc. Make an informed choice!

Pick up application forms from the office of the Health Sciences Administrator, UNB Saint John, Ganong Hall 230. The application deadline and interviews are normally scheduled early in the Winter term of each year.

IMPORTANT:
Possession of the first year BSc requirements does not guarantee admission into the professional portion of the degree. Applicants will be considered on the basis of their academic record as well as an interview with a selection committee. Enrolment is limited and admission is competitive. All applicants must be proficient in written and oral communication in English.

Admission Requirements
High school students must meet admission requirements for UNB’s Bachelor of Science degree as outlined in UNB Saint John's current viewbook, "life is an experience, start here". Students may also contact the Admissions Office, (506) 648-5670; Email sjreg@unbsj.ca. Once accepted to UNB, they must successfully complete specific first year courses in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Calculus and Psychology.

Current UNB students who are pursuing, or have successfully completed, these first year requirements are eligible to apply for admission into one of the four professional streams.

Normally acceptance into a professional stream is based on successful completion of these first year courses at UNB, however, applications may be considered for those who have successfully completed the first year courses from an AUCC (Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada) recognized university.

A Post-Diploma BHS degree program is available for medical technologists and therapists who hold a diploma from an accredited program and are eligible to practice in an area of health sciences offered through the BHS. Course work requirements are the same as for the regular BHS degree. Students who have previously completed a first year of university studies at an AUCC recognized university may apply for credit toward the BHS degree. Credit will be granted only for those courses which are essentially equivalent to the first year BHS courses as listed in the List of required courses section.
