We take teaching and learning seriously, and it shows. Our vision and reputation for outstanding teaching is why we were awarded the 2018 Global Teaching Excellence Award. The McMaster Method — small group, problem-based learning with early exposure to relevant real-world experience — has been adopted by countless universities around the world. It’s all part of our mission to discover, share and preserve knowledge with a commitment to creativity, excellence and innovation in teaching.

McMaster is consistently ranked among Canada’s most research-intensive universities (Research Infosource 2022). In 2022, we were ranked #2 in faculty research intensity and graduate student research intensity. With a total research income of $374.6 million, McMaster research teams are making discoveries and advancing knowledge in every discipline.

McMaster has supports to help our students through their program and beyond. From counseling at the Student Wellness Centre to career help at the Student Success Centre, we’re here to help you at every step.
