UNB’s sociology graduate programs are research-intensive, allowing students to explore complex, compelling sociological subjects like gender, health, and criminology. Students undertake original research on a full- or part-time basis using a combination of qualitative or quantitative methods as part of a detailed methodology. Our programs emphasize theoretical positioning (social theory), critical thinking, fieldwork, professional writing, and high-level analysis.

Come be part of the UNB community while gaining the necessary skills to obtain advanced positions with private, public, and non-profit employers. Our graduates go on to work in social services, health services, law, and academia; many have taken up tenure track university appointments and others have been awarded Canada Research Chairs.
