UNB’s political science graduate program equips students with the advanced critical thinking, research and professional writing skills required to play a leadership role in local and global political communities. With these skills, graduates of our program are well-prepared for doctoral and professional programs, and for careers in government, public service, international organizations, business and non-governmental organizations.
Students in the MA program explore enduring debates about war, peace, the dynamics of political power and political change. They also examine some of the most important emerging political issues of our time including political violence, human rights, global health, climate change and the rise of far right and authoritarian regimes. Students can study at either the Fredericton or Saint John campus; in both locations, students will enjoy small classes and close supervision by a dedicated faculty member.
