Why it matters
Why McMaster supplementary practice matters
McMaster Engineering I and Computer Science I use a competitive supplementary application completed through Kira Talent. Strong preparation matters because applicants respond asynchronously to timed video and written questions that are not shared in advance.
Video Responses
Most of the supplementary application is assessed through timed video answers, so clear speaking practice is essential.
Program Enrolment
Engineering I and Computer Science I list limited total enrolment, reinforcing the value of a polished submission.
Assessment criteria
What the McMaster application assesses
Candidates are assessed on how clearly they communicate, solve problems, reflect under time pressure, and demonstrate readiness for engineering and computer science study. Feedback uses role-relevant skills such as technical communication, analytical reasoning, teamwork capability, learning agility, and ethical responsibility.
Skill
Scores reflect the core skills demonstrated in timed video and written responses.
