University of New Brunswick

The University of New Brunswick, one of the top five universities in Canada*, has launched a student recruitment campaign with a twist. Through this campaign, you could win free tuition for a year.

Go to http://www.onlyoneU.ca so you can have a chance to win.

The campaign, Only One U, also includes TV ads that will appear on CBC, CTV and Global for three weeks in the Maritimes and movie theatre ads that will appear starting Monday, Feb. 4. We’ll also be sending out promotional pieces to 13,000 households in the Maritimes, Ontario and Alberta.

A university can offer higher salary possibilities and diverse career choices. UNB is small enough to provide our students with a personal touch, but large enough to offer a first-class education with more than 50 degree and certificate programs to choose from. Students also receive a combination of exciting study, travel and work opportunities.

We appreciate your support and we welcome your feedback: chooseunb@unb.ca
