Our research-intensive Faculty of Science, McMaster’s largest, is home to over 6700 undergraduate and graduate students working to learn about and explore the boundaries of scientific knowledge. McMaster University is consistently ranked as one of the top research universities in Canada and one of the country’s most innovative.
