What and Where is McMaster University
McMaster University is a public research university located in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, about an hour’s drive from Toronto. Founded in 1887, it spans a 300-acre urban campus adjacent to the Royal Botanical Gardens, nestled between the residential neighborhoods of Ainslie Wood and Westdale. McMaster is internationally recognized for its excellence in Health Sciences, Engineering, Business, and interdisciplinary research, and is a proud member of the U15 Group of Canadian Research Universities. With over 37,000 students from more than 125 countries, McMaster fosters a diverse and inclusive academic environment. The university is also home to unique facilities like a nuclear reactor and the Bertrand Russell Archives, and it hosts the United Nations University Institute for Water, Environment and Health (UNU-INWEH)—the only Canadian site of its kind.
