Why study Humanities?

“The unexamined life is not worth living” – Socrates.

As a Humanities student, you’ll bring artistic, historical, critical and philosophical reflection to bear while you explore and examine our past and present, our thought, our cultures, and societies, as well as our existence. You’ll learn about the world and learn about yourself.

• Gain knowledge and learn to question.
• Grapple with how to make sense of experiences, how to achieve understanding, and how to live well.
• Learn how to think, inquire, weigh evidence, read critically, make arguments, write and speak thoughtfully.
• Practice the skills you learn in the classroom, lab, theatre and studio through community engagement, international experience, field study and internships

Why Humanities at McMaster?

Dean Swett reflects on the top ten things that students say when we ask them “Why did you choose Humanities at Mac?”

Humanities at McMaster

Join our close-knit community in the Faculty of Humanities -- where you aren't just a number. There are lots of supports to help you succeed, both while you're in university, and beyond.

That is the power of the arts — to remind us of what we each have to offer, and what we all have in common; to help us understand our history and imagine our future; to give us hope in the moments of struggle; and to bring us together when nothing else will.

— MICHELLE OBAMA FORMER FIRST LADY, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Humanities grads are needed now more than ever. The world needs people who have these essential skills.

Think critically

Lead change

Exercise social and emotional intelligence

Communicate effectively

Think ethically and make a difference

The question isn’t "What can I do with a Humanities education?" It's "What can't I do?"

While the skills you’ll learn while you’re at McMaster are essential for the 21st century workplace, a university education is far more than vocational training: it’s designed to foster personal growth and intellectual development.

Remember – in Humanities, there isn’t always a direct link between the subject you study and the career path you follow after graduating.

The academic fields that study the human condition – prepare young adults for the most essential aspects of work: getting along with other people, understanding multiple points of view and coming to terms with one’s place in the world. As such, students of all majors need exposure to the humanities to be adequately — and practically — prepared for the working world. The skills learned in the humanities are practical, and, even better they are timeless.

— Elizabeth H. Bradley President of Vassar College

Learn about us

Humanities during a time of global change, investing in humanities is key to post-pandemic recovery.

In our rapidly changing world, government policymakers will need to recognize the important insights gained through humanities and social sciences research to drive COVID-19 recovery and secure a better future for Canadians.

Why Science Needs The Humanities To Solve Climate Change

Going beyond science, humanists can define cultural forces driving climate change and uncover the root of complex problems. Society needs humanists and their “soft” technologies – intangible tools for solving problems based on non-scientific knowledge.

Humanities provides career benefits

Oxford study: Humanities benefits young people's future careers and wider society. New research shows how studying the humanities benefits young people’s future careers and wider society – despite challenges of COVID-19 and employment changes.

Literature is unbelievably helpful because no matter what business you are in, you are dealing with interpersonal relationships. It gives you an appreciation of what makes people tick.

— Michael Eisner Former Chairman and CEO, the Walt Disney Company

Many humanities graduates become professional chameleons of sorts. We leave university with these highly developed critical thinking and communication skills and can apply them to any number of industries.

Alex Zavarise '17

BA History and Classics

Through my Multimedia major, I learned technical skills that have made me invaluable in the workplace.

Kaitlynn Jong '16

Combined Honours Communication Studies and Multimedia

The value of a Humanities degree can be transferred to a wide array of career possibilities. So, you can have confidence knowing that it will serve you well, no matter what.

Tianna Hernandez '16

Communication Studies

Employers across Canada and around the world choose Humanities graduates because of their adaptability, flexibility, empathy and critical thinking skills -- essential knowledge in the 21st-century workplace.

Our team of paper writers consists only of native speakers coming from countries such as the US or Canada. But being proficient in English isn't the only requirement we have for an essay writer. All professionals working for us have a higher degree from a top institution or are current university professors. They go through a challenging hiring process which includes a diploma check, a successful mock-task completion, and two interviews. Once the writer passes all of the above, they begin their training, and only after its successful completion do they begin taking "write an essay for me" orders.

The essay writers who will write an essay for me have been in this domain for years and know the consequences that you will face if the draft is found to have plagiarism. Thus, they take notes and then put the information in their own words for the draft. To be double sure about this entire thing, your final draft is being analyzed through anti-plagiarism software, Turnitin. If any sign of plagiarism is detected, immediately the changes will be made. You can get the Turnitin report from the writer on request along with the final deliverable.

Can i hire someone to write essay.

Student life is associated with great stress and nervous breakdowns, so young guys and girls urgently need outside help. There are sites that take all the responsibility for themselves. You can turn to such companies for help and they will do all the work while clients relax and enjoy a carefree life.

Take the choice of such sites very seriously, because now you can meet scammers and low-skilled workers.

On our website, polite managers will advise you on all the details of cooperation and sign an agreement so that you are confident in the agency. In this case, the user is the boss who hires the employee to delegate responsibilities and devote themselves to more important tasks. You can correct the work of the writer at all stages, observe that all special wishes are implemented and give advice. You pay for the work only if you liked the essay and passed the plagiarism check.

We will be happy to help you complete a task of any complexity and volume, we will listen to special requirements and make sure that you will be the best student in your group.
