About the university
The Université de Moncton is a public university in New Brunswick with three campuses, in Moncton, Edmundston and Shippagan, all teaching exclusively in French. It offers bachelor's degrees in business administration, applied computer science, engineering, nursing, biochemistry, kinesiology and economics, many with a co-op option, as well as graduate programmes.
Because teaching is in French, Moncton only suits Indian students who are fluent in French. For them, the cost is moderate: CAD 15,761 a year in undergraduate tuition in 2026-2027, about CAD 17,839 with compulsory fees and insurance, and the university estimates about CAD 22,720 for eight months of living costs. Students can choose a study-permit route through the federal pilot for francophone minority communities.
