About the university

The Collège communautaire du Nouveau-Brunswick (CCNB) is New Brunswick's public French-language college, with five campuses in Bathurst, Campbellton, Dieppe, Edmundston and the Acadian Peninsula. It offers certificates and diplomas through schools of business and IT, trades and technology, health sciences, community services and natural resources. All teaching is in French, so it suits Indian students who already have B2-level French.

International tuition is a flat CAD 10,770 per college year at 2027-28 rates, lower than most English-language colleges. CCNB publishes a list of PGWP-eligible programmes, including data analysis, application development, networking and security, supply chain management and practical nursing. As a francophone college outside Quebec, it also points students to a federal pilot programme that may lead to permanent residence. New Brunswick living costs are estimated at at least CAD 18,000 a year.

      Admission requirements

      Undergraduate

      • Apply online to up to two programmes per college year and pay the CAD 100 fee. Applications are assessed as they arrive from November, and some programmes fill up, so apply early.
