Welcome to McMaster University

McMaster’s large, attractive campus, the interior of which is open only to pedestrians and cyclists, is at the western end of Lake Ontario in Hamilton, Canada. Nearby attractions include Cootes Paradise, the Bruce Trail, the Niagara Escarpment, the Waterfront Trail, and the Royal Botanical Gardens. The University is minutes from downtown Hamilton, and the activities that a major city has to offer. Buses from the region’s public transit system make frequent stops on campus, facilitating travel between McMaster, Hamilton, and the surrounding area.
