University profile
The Universite de Moncton is a French-language university in New Brunswick with three campuses: Edmundston, Moncton and Shippagan. It is the largest French-language university in Canada outside Quebec, and it is recognised for its teaching and research and for its contribution to Acadian and Francophone society. Its mission is the advancement of knowledge and the education of creative, engaged people, and its stated values are respect, inclusion, accessibility and engagement.
The Moncton campus is the largest, with close to 4,000 students and nearly 200 undergraduate and graduate programmes. Its faculties and schools include Administration; Arts and Social Sciences; Law; Engineering (civil, electrical and mechanical); Science; Health Sciences and Community Services (kinesiology and leisure, psychology, nursing, food science, nutrition and family studies); and Education Sciences. The campus is on a hill overlooking the city and has several student residences. The Edmundston campus, with about 400 students, offers forestry, nursing, multidisciplinary arts and a health-sciences preparatory diploma in full, and the Shippagan campus offers information management, sustainable development and coastal zone, business administration (DAA), nursing at the Bathurst site and the health-sciences preparatory diploma.
Cooperative education programmes alternate study terms with paid work placements of three to four months. Graduate studies are administered through the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, and research centres, chairs, institutes and laboratories cover areas such as Acadian studies, ageing, wind engineering, energy conversion, food, environmental science, education, kinesiology and entrepreneurship.
Student life includes the Aigles Bleus and Aigles Bleues varsity teams at Moncton and the Rafales teams at Shippagan, the Centre d'education physique et sportive (indoor stadium, semi-Olympic pool, squash and racquetball courts, fitness rooms) and the Croix Bleue Medavie Stadium in Moncton. Residences are available on all three campuses, and a student success programme and learning access services support students with documented conditions.
More than one fifth of the student population comes from outside Canada, from about forty countries. Students can study abroad under exchange agreements with 27 countries, and the International Passport programme awards a certificate in intercultural skills. The university takes part in the federal Francophone Minority Communities Student Pilot (PPECFSM), which can lead to post-graduation permanent residence for eligible students.

Applications are submitted online with a valid email address; no fee is payable at application. The school sends its official transcript, and a confirmation email lists any documents still needed. A letter on the application status follows two to three weeks after receipt, and the file is re-evaluated when final grades arrive. Prior college, CEGEP or university study may earn credit or equivalences. Applicants are automatically considered for most scholarships at application.
Applications are made through the UMoncton admission portal. A non-refundable processing fee of CAD 300 applies; CAD 230 of it is credited against tuition at the start of the first term. Documents must be uploaded as PDFs, and the list depends on the country of schooling: typically the last two years of secondary transcripts, results of the national secondary exams or baccalaureate, the diploma or attestation, any post-secondary transcripts, and a birth certificate extract. Documents not in French or English need a certified translation. Admitted students who obtain a study permit are asked to send certified or legalised copies of the documents marked with an asterisk.
The university takes part in the IRCC Francophone Minority Communities Student Pilot (PPECFSM). Eligibility includes citizenship of a listed Francophonie member country in Africa, the Middle East or the Americas, a programme of at least two years full time, French proficiency of NCLC 7 or CEFR B2 or above on TEF Canada or TCF Canada, sufficient funds for travel, first-year tuition and living costs, and meeting the programme admission conditions. A PPECFSM participation deposit applies (CAD 25,000 for 2025-2026). Other applicants receive the documents needed for a regular study permit application.
