McMaster University Speciality : Human Resources
programme: Integrated Business and Humanities

This program is a combination of business and humanities and has a lot of classes that are very interesting. One big advantage of this program is it is heavily group based and most projects are conducted as such. As a second year student I have a final project that spans four courses, this environment is great when people are looking to go into a industry where team work is needed. Although it’s intended purpose is to work in HR field it does a great job at teaching soft skills which are applicable in any job you would ever want. Bi-weekly seminars on various topics such as leadership, resilience, how to build a resume, and even how to create a LinkedIn profile. The only disadvantage of this course is the humanities courses which don’t seem to actually teach anything important but are rather only useful to improve writing peoples writing abilities.

McMaster is a tight-knit community with an easily accessible campus for those that are living on and off campus. The campus food explores a wide variety of cuisines from different cultures and provides products from all food groups to ensure a good diet. The staff and professors and extremely helpful and provide a welcoming experience.

Beautiful campus and great facilities. Lots of clubs and opportunities to get engaged in the community. Diverse student body with the potential provided to learn from the highly varied experiences of peers.
