Our joint master's program on the Fredericton and Saint John campuses brings together some of the country’s leading scholars to help students understand the dynamics of political power, institutions, decision-making and change. Classes are kept deliberately small so that students can pursue their unique interests under the close supervision of a dedicated faculty member. UNB's graduate program in political science can offer supervision across all the main sub-fields of the discipline: Political Theory, Gender and Politics, Global Political Economy, Canadian Politics, International Relations, Comparative Politics.

All applicants should normally have completed a four-year bachelor’s degree, or equivalent, in political science with a minimum GPA of A- in their final two years of study, and a minimum of B+ in all political science courses. Applicants who do not satisfy the requirements for full graduate student status may be eligible for a qualifying year. Applicants must submit a completed application. International Applicants whose first language is not English must submit language scores that meet or exceed: International English language testing system (IELTS) = band 7 Paper-based TOEFL = 600 Internet-based TOEFL = 100 TWE = 5.5
