Overview

The Politics program of University of New Brunswick lets students examine how and why the government makes its decisions and how those decisions affect our social, cultural, legal, and economic landscape.

Politics is everywhere – in boardrooms, school yards, community halls, neighbourhoods, and in settlements all around the world.

At the heart of the Politics program at UNB’s Saint John campus is the discussion of political power, institutions, and practice.

Four major fields of study include Canadian Politics, Comparative Politics, International Relations, and Political Theory.
