This programme , offered in partnership with St. Thomas University and the University of New Brunswick , provides a first year university programme in Arts , Sciences , Social Sciences , and Commerce to students on the Miramichi . A recent DfEE funded project ( the Key Skills of Students Entering Higher Education - - University of Nottingham 1997 due to be published in July 1997 ) shows that many first year university students do not achieve level 3 Key Skill Unit standards . Data were extracted for students marks in first year university subjects , secondary school results and personal characteristics such as secondary school type linguistic / cultural background , gender ; socioeconomic status , distance from campus and age . His teaching experience includes 20 years teaching in first year university physics courses and 15 years teaching in graduate certificates in higher education programs . Our earlier unorthodox schooling had not harmed us ; the correspondence courses of those years and another I took in first year university were among the best lessons I ever had .
