| Description: | This full-time Master's programme provides a comprehensive overview of drug safety practices within the drug development process. It addresses key aspects of preclinical drug evaluation through the study of: Drug discovery and development Safety pharmacology Mechanisms of drug-induced toxicities Regulatory affairs Bioanalytical sciences It will give you state-of-the-art training in preclinical toxicology, with an emphasis on the molecular in vitro and in vivo aspects of toxicology and safety pharmacology assessments. As part of the programme you will undertake an original research project that will be the basis of your dissertation. Delivered at the Institute of Cancer Therapeutics, an internationally renowned research institution, the programme gives you the skills you need for a career in the pharmaceutical industry or regulatory bodies, along with the foundations for PhD study. Drug toxicology and safety pharmacology lies at the heart of the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, and demand for highly skilled practitioners in this field is extremely high. |

| Learning outcome: |
LO1 Critically evaluate specialised areas of toxicology and safety pharmacology. LO2 Critically evaluate scientific literature, discuss and communicate scientific data. LO3 Apply standard laboratory methods to obtain accurate data LO4 Write and interpret scientific reports LO5 Critically evaluate and appraise experimental laboratory techniques with specific emphasis on obtaining a Home Office personal license for animal studies. LO6 Demonstrate critical thinking through ability to independently: recognise, define and prioritise problems LO7 Demonstrate critical thinking through ability to independently: analyse, interpret, objectively evaluate and prioritise information and data, recognising its limitations; LO8 Critically evaluate pre-clinical screening strategies in vitro and in vivo and develop a preclinical screening cascade. LO9 Apply scientific principles to the critical analysis of problems in order to determine the safety profile of agents under evaluation LO10 Develop autonomy in learning required for continuing professional development; apply skills in; time-management, presentation, written communication and problem-solving. LO 11 Use software packages in the analysis and reporting of screening and safety profiling of drugs |
