McMaster University

McMaster University is globally renowned for pioneering problem-based learning (PBL) in its medical education program. Instead of traditional lectures, students learn through analyzing real clinical cases in small groups from the very beginning of their studies.

The university is located in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Founded in 1887 in Toronto, the institution moved to its current sprawling campus in Hamilton's Westdale neighborhood in 1930.

Yes, McMaster hosts a 5-megawatt pool-type nuclear research reactor directly on its Hamilton campus. It is the only medium-flux reactor in Canada, making it highly utilized for medical isotope production and neutron radiography.

The McMaster Engineering program features a highly competitive co-op structure that allows students to integrate up to 28 months of paid work experience into their degree. Students are admitted into a general first-year engineering program before selecting a specific discipline like software or mechatronics in their second year.
