McMaster graduates are some of the most employable in the world, according to a new ranking from Times Higher Education.

McMaster ranked fifth in Canada and 81st internationally in the 2022 Global Employability Ranking. This global ranking includes 250 universities across 44 countries.

“McMaster graduates are known worldwide for their creativity, innovation and collaborative spirit,” says McMaster President David Farrar.
