Welcome to McMaster Faculty of Science Lab & Facility Tours.
The Faculty of Science is one of McMaster's largest faculties, with over 9,000 undergraduate and graduate students, seven Level I program, and over 30 programs, which begin in Level II.
Applying to university and deciding on a program of study can be overwhelming. To help you make an informed decision, we invite you to take a in-person Science Tour to see what the Faculty of Science at McMaster University has to offer.
This 60 minute tour is led by current undergraduate students from a wide range of science programs. The tours highlight the labs, facilities and services used by students in Level I Science programs. Tours are free of charge.
Your tour will depart from the Office of the Associate Dean of Science (Academic), Burke Science Building (BSB), Room 136.
