McMaster University
speciality: Biological Sciences

I enjoy studying at McMaster University because it is a research-intensive school with experts in fields I am interested in and align with my career choices. My program is one of a kind and not offered anywhere else, where I have the privilege of gaining expertise in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sector while simultaneously gaining essential business skills.

McMaster University’s small yet vibrant campus offers a perfect blend of convenience and a tight-knit community feeling. The compact size allows for easy navigation between classes while bumping into several friends along the way. As a Kinesiology student, our department stands out with its exceptional faculty and resources providing some of the best professors, laboratory and research opportunities in Canada. If I could improve one thing about the McMaster University experience it would be the quality of food served. Many other universities serve high quality, tasty meals that makes the McMaster food seem mediocre in comparison.

McMaster is one of the top research universities in Canada. We take pride in our medical and engineering research facilities as the school is known for its prestigious Health Science Undergraduate Program. McMaster University is connected to McMaster Children’s Hospital and which has its Medical School in its facilities. I am on the pre-med track for my undergraduate studies of Honours Biology and have enjoyed many classes in my program. Honorary mentions to my PSYCH 1X03 and 1XX3 classes in the first year of Life Sciences Gateway because the professors and course content were spectacular. They were some of the most enjoyable courses I have enrolled in, at McMaster University. Furthermore, campus life is amazing due to the balance of both the worlds of academic focus and a fun/chill student community. Everyone I have met, whether online due to COVID-19 or during in-person classes, were all kind and respectful people. I have just finished my second year of undergraduate studies and I love it so much here. I would recommend McMaster to my younger brother and to anyone who is considering pursuing a STEM undergraduate degree for post-secondary.

I personally feel that the best part about this university is that it offers a plethora of courses as well as activities to do, that both serve as job skill or personal satisfaction.

It also displays tremendous inclusivity, bringing together students from all over the world.
