The Advancement Team works with alumni, friends and donors to support the faculty, students and researchers. Their work would not be possible without your support.
There are many ways that you can support, including contributions to scholarships, bursaries, awards and more. Giving is easy; donate directly through our online site, or learn more about the many opportunities below.
Your generosity can transform a life.
A Social Sciences degree provides students with excellent transferable skills including critical thinking and analysis, research and evaluation, oral and written communication, problem solving, teamwork, and leadership.
What I liked most about the Economic Policy program at McMaster University is how well it prepares you to enter the job market ... the focus is teaching you skills that you will implement in your future career.
A lot of people don't end up working in the same subject matter area they studied in school, but those general career skills will help you navigate job changes effectively.
