The University of New Hampshire (UNH) is a school that places students at the edge of possible. From the personal to the professional, the social to the intellectual, UNH is a space that gives students all they need to truly thrive.

Ranked the Top 50 public university in the US, UNH empowers aspirations and helps students find their truth. This Carnegie-classified institution is a bedrock of success for future engineers, ingenious CEOs, ground-breaking scientists, revolutionary artists and every unique person found in between.

This is a high-quality, career-driven education that drives long lasting graduate success. Here, more than 200 undergraduate and graduate programs are offered across five comprehensive academic divisions:

The extraordinary research portfolio at UNH includes partnerships with NOAA, NASA, NSF and NIH, with the institution’s elite initiatives and investigations drawing in more than US$100 million in competitive external funding each year.

That’s why there are over 20 NASA satellites with UNH instruments floating up in space, and a range of trail-blazing hubs built for both student and faculty discovery – including the Prevention Innovations Research Center (PIRC) and the Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping (CCOM).

College of Liberal Arts (COLA)

COLA students have endless chances to explore, experience, ask questions and discover answers. Explore your passions and create your very own path from dozens of majors, minors and graduate programs in the humanities, education, fine and performing arts and social sciences.

At UNH, all courses are fuelled by the latest industry knowledge and enhanced by world-leading research. So impactful are this institution’s insights, faculty and teaching that its expertise are sought across all industries on all corners of the globe.

“Before I came here, I didn’t know how to make choices for myself,” says Liu Ziwei, an international student currently studying Communication and International Affairs at UNH.

“I just followed what other people were doing just to be a good student in other people’s eyes. But through my years here at UNH I learned to just be myself and do what I want to do. I learned to be the best version of myself.”

Pioneering staff paired with intimate class sizes means students unleash their capabilities and embrace creative expression. This inspires transformative thinking at every education level, opening doors to internships, graduate schools and professional roles students never could have dreamed of before.

In fact, it’s the sheer breadth and depth of opportunities that sets UNH apart from the rest. Hands-on learning, work-based experiences and research assistantships bring together students, faculty, private and public partners, supporting a network of innovative thinkers who build life-changing solutions and reinforce a brighter world.

In terms of academics, UNH embodies a worldwide and round-the-clock experience. Students are encouraged to apply classroom learning in every relevant aspect of life. An investment in campus infrastructure is an investment in you and your ambitions, and that’s why UNH places you at the beating pulse – whether that’s through studying marine biology in the Shoals Marine Lab, or product engineering in the InterOperablity Lab.

Thanks to the university’s remarkable reputation and the exceptional quality of its faculties and facilities, potential employers view UNH alumni as job-ready graduates readily-equipped with a desirable work ethic. It’s why so many UNH graduates have gone on to work with renowned organisations such as Goldman Sachs, Fidelity Investments, Pfizer, Oracle, Dell and more.

The statistics speak for themselves, since compared to the national average, UNH graduates are 14 percent more likely to be in full-time employment within six months of graduation.

Whether you’re in the coffee shop or the classroom, the athletic field or commanding center stage, UNH has the tools and facilities that bring out your best.
