Our Honours Integrated Science program, iSci, is a unique four-year program that uses research to explore all areas of science. Students learn cutting-edge science, but also how science works in and for society.
Students in our Life Sciences programs study topics in human health, aging and disease. We emphasize communication, community engagement, experiential learning and research skills.
Medical Radiation Sciences encompasses health professions that employ various forms of radiation for diagnostic and therapeutic care of patients. The fully integrated program is offered jointly by Mohawk College and McMaster University.
SIS Open Science Courses, available to students in the Faculty of Science and from across McMaster, create opportunities for personal discovery and developing science communication skills.
The involvement of our School in using innovative pedagogical approaches reflects McMaster’s strong commitment to excellence in original research in a student-centered environment.

From interactive classrooms to interdisciplinary laboratories, purpose-built facilities provide students exciting opportunities to engage in and explore science.
Our faculty and students value exploration and collaborative learning across different fields. This interdisciplinary approach makes our programs unique.
We pursue a diverse range of research interests including fundamental science, teaching innovation, science communication and community engagement.
It is with great enthusiasm that I welcome you to the School of Interdisciplinary Science (SIS) in the Faculty of Science at McMaster University. The School, founded in 2016, provides administrative and pedagogical support to unique programs in the Faculty of Science: Integrated Science, Life Sciences and Medical Radiation Sciences.
Our School’s professors, instructional assistants, staff, teaching assistants and peer mentor undergraduates work together to create and implement novel teaching approaches. These enhance student learning, promote community engagement and prepare our students to be well-rounded members of their communities.
The thread that links our three exceptional programs is the commitment to an interdisciplinary approach to teaching, employing experiential and hands-on opportunities. Core to this approach is our focus on the role of science in addressing contemporary challenges in human health and societal well-being.
