The Campus
McMaster is located in Hamilton, Ontario - the fourth-largest city in Ontario, the ninth-largest city in Canada and about a 45-minute drive from Toronto and Niagara Falls. Hamilton is a vast multicultural city that is not only an urban and industrial centre, but also offers a variety of educational, cultural and recreational opportunities. McMaster’s 12-hectare main campus, bordered by the Royal Botanical Gardens, is considered to be one of the most attractive in Canada. The architecture offers a harmonious blend of the traditional with the ultra-modern.
