UNB has launched a new, four-year interdisciplinary Bachelor of Health program on its Saint John campus.

The innovative program will welcome its first intake of students in Fall 2020.

The program is a unique collaboration between three UNB Saint John faculties; the Faculty of Arts, the Faculty of Business and the Faculty of Science, Applied Science & Engineering, and will be supported by opportunities for students to gain hands-on experience in health and social innovation.

The interdisciplinary nature of the program allows students to combine the rigor and precision of science with the creativity and critical thinking of humanities, alongside the strategic vision and accountability of business management.

Graduates of the program will gain the knowledge and experience needed for a variety of careers in the health sector such as biomedical health fields, population and community health, health management as well as professional programs and associated entrance exams.

UNB recognizes that reforming the healthcare system to make it more effective and financially sustainable will require new approaches and new ideas. The Bachelor of Health is part of a wider integrated health initiative being developed by UNB to respond to the need for effective, efficient and sustainable healthcare in New Brunswick and Canada.

Admissions to the Bachelor of Health program for Fall 2020 will open when the program receives final approval from the Maritime Provinces Higher Education Council.

Further details on the program can be found here.
