理学硕士（毒理学）

毒理学是对毒物的研究，主要利用生命科学和物理科学，是一门实用的基础学科。它旨在使学生了解毒理学的广度，并非常注重其实际应用。第一学期包括药理学和毒理学及其应用的基础。讲习班为学生提供数据处理和解释的理论基础。第二学期包括高级主题的讲座，例如风险评估，目标器官毒性，生殖和监管毒理学。此外，实验室的小型项目（体内，体外和分子项目）更加受重视，这些项目向学生介绍了毒性测试和数据解释的实用元素。制药行业也有许多有关毒性测试的书面项目，以及涉及自我指导学习的毒性测定的最新进展。
Toxicology is the study of poisons, drawing heavily on life and physical sciences, as well as being an applied practically-based subject. It is designed to acquaint students with the breadth of Toxicology, with a considerable emphasis on its practical application. The first semester consists of a foundation in Pharmacology and Toxicology and their applications. Workshops provide students with a theoretical basis in data handling and interpretation.<br>The second semester consists of lectures in advanced topics such as Risk Assessment, Target Organ Toxicity, Reproductive and Regulatory Toxicology. In addition there is more emphasis on laboratory mini-projects (in vivo, in vitro & molecular projects) that introduce students to the practical elements of toxicity testing and data interpretation. There are also a number of written projects on toxicity testing used in the drug industry as well as recent advances in toxicity assays which involve self-directed learning.<br>Programme outcomes include:<br>Demonstrating a detailed knowledge of the principles and concepts of toxicology and pharmacology<br>Demonstrating an in-depth knowledge of the recent developments and applications in the field of toxicology<br>Demonstrating a high skill level in a wide range of laboratory skills for toxicological investigations<br>Communicating experimental findings in toxicology effectively, using a variety of verbal, written and visual means.<br>Designing, conducting, analysing and presenting their original laboratorybased research.<br><br>Career Opportunities<br>Previous graduates of this programme have either found employment in toxicological testing and product quality testing within industry or government agencies or in the field of regulatory toxicology within governmental and international regulatory bodies. Graduates have also enrolled in PhD programmes and further academic studies in related disciplines.
