The Université de Moncton has recorded its highest enrollment since 2012.
With a student population of 4,745, they have recorded a 5% increase in enrollment year-over-year. Of the students enrolled, 65.3% are from New Brunswick.
The number of international students has seen an uptick of 37.8% compared to last year in part due to the easing of COVID-19 restrictions.
“The excellent work of our recruitment, admissions, registrar, and faculty teams on all three campuses has contributed greatly to the success of our increased student enrolment. In addition, the reopening of Canadian embassies and the easing of borders have allowed a greater number of international students to travel to Canada to complete their studies,” said President and Vice Chancellor Dr. Denis Prud’homme in a statement released by UdeM.
Another factor that lead to a higher enrollment rate is the reputation the province has built throughout the pandemic.
“New Brunswick has done well since the beginning of the pandemic when compared to other provinces. This is reassuring for parents who send their children to our campuses. They know that strict measures are in place to reduce the risks.”
